question aboutbkmac front camber kit
hey everyone. Ive been sufferingbfrom negative camberbon the front for a few years now. I was able to adjust the back to factory specs thanks to ghostriders kit. I bought the bokts from the dealer but even though they call them centric bolts they arent, the are just bokts with washers that have a edge one one side that you can adjust to negative or posetive, they helped but my front was still off 2.25 and 2.5. So i finally bought the kmac kit and had it installed today, the camber got much better 1.5 but still a bit off from factory specs. My car has the biggest pads front and back and um just running bilstien sports and h&R sorings so im not slammed. Is this as much as this kit can do. What position shiuld the kit's bushings be pressed in because you can either press them in with the bolt toward the outside of the car or the inside of the car, or that doesnt matter?

I don't think it matters about the bolt because it's the offset rotation of the Kmac that pulls the camber it in or out.

I thought the KMACs were supposed to give +/- 3 degrees of adjustment?
Seems like if the alignment guy you're using knows how to massage the suspension he should be able to get you within spec?

i forgot to add one thing to the pm is be careful when u install the bolt and the washer because the first time they did it wrong and went in backward and did not adjust(the bolt would not turn)... then they to redo it and all went well..

Thanks will, I think Ill be ok being at 1.5 on the front and my back is well within spec just using ghost's kit which I much prefer over the kmac kit and have been very happy with.
