is there rear camber adjustment on coilovers??
Sup Y'all!
I was looking at purchasing the Tein Super Drift Damper Kit Coilovers.
Can the REAR camber be adjusted with coilovers or do you need to install a Rear Camber Adjuster too?? I.E. Mazdatrix.com (http://www.mazdatrix.com/h6_86-92.htm)
I'm looking to drop the car ~ 1.3" Front and 2.0" Rear.
Also, would the Rear Camber Adjuster from mazdatrix be sufficient enough to take out all that neg. camber if need be??
Thaaanks to whoever replies!

we have no idea which camber adjuster that you mean, but if you are tlaking abotu the bar that connects your subframe to your chassis then i would say no. i have JIC FLTA2s and i know that the bar would not be able to correct the amount of negative camber that my car would generate. on top of that i have heard many times from other fc owners that after they install teh bar they still need to reduce the amount of negative camber. your best and safest bet to make sure that you get teh adjustability that you need is by buying this http://www.awrracing.com/store/produ...products_id=86
mazdatrix sells them as well, but awr is cheaper and it is for the EXACT same stuff.

brand new to suspension tuning
Thanks fella's, I appreciate the info.
FC3Slicer-
I read one of your posts about the BEARING KIT, REAR CONTROL ARM from Awrracing, I'm just confused about how and where to install...
I don't mind spending the money on a quality product if it will allow me to make the required adjustments I'm just hazy on the installation etc.
I read through FSM but am still pretty clueless... Would this also be called the Trailing Arm? And why does it say "the following work should be preformed by two persons?"
In your experience, is the installation and making adjustments pretty in depth? Thanks!

it is really reall easy to install. it took me about an hour because i forgot what tools to bring with me, and it was really late at night. after i installed it it took me about 30 min to amke the rear camber the same. here is a link for teh install procedure http://www.mazdatrix.com/instruction...inkinstall.htm
you dont need 2 people, i did ti myself. on a 1-5 scale 1 being easy 5 being hard this is a 2.
as far as tuning, you can really get the car to be on point.

starting to see the light
O.k., I totally see how the REAR CONTROL ARM CAMBER ADJUSTER works. (http://www.awrracing.com/images/rxsu...adjusterLG.jpg)Basically we are just replacing that little stationary control link.
but, the web link you originally posted was to the REAR CONTROL ARM BEARING KIT (http://www.awrracing.com/images/rxsu...ctrl_brgLG.jpg)
Does the BEARING KIT come in to play on this installation, I'm assuming I don't really need that??
Also, how have your camber adjuster's held up over time? Seems to me there would be a great deal of stress put on this part.
again, thanks for all your help! Later

not really.
i am replaceing my rubber rear control arm bushing with a polyurithane one once i drop my subframe next week.
after 3 weeks of having them on the car they are solid as a rock. although i have never hearing of them braking, one guy snapped the bolt while he was tightening them, but other than that nothing.
