Hey im thinking of getting a Tien sus kit but i wanted to know if the camber is adjustable on FC's. If not any of you guys know of good camber kits for FC's?
Thanks

 

You can make minor camber adjustments in the front without purchasing camber plates. I'm sure you know that camber plates are available for the front and an adjustable link is available for the back.

A friend of mine is making me a set of "brackets" that will move the bottom of the strut inward and away from the spindle. I am doing this so I can mount 3rd gen rims on my car without using spacers on the front. The added bonus with these is that they will be slotted allowing for camber and castor adjustments. I will *try* to post up pics and dimensions to this thread in the next couple of days for anyone that may be interested in doing the same. I do not have a digital camera so I do emphasize *try*.

Not sure what you mean here, i dont know much about the rx7's suspension system maybe you can explain how it works. So what your saying is that i WOULD have to purchase some from of kit to adjust the camber, so infact the 2nd gens do not have camber adjustment? is that right?

dude this would be great if it gets done. However im not in the mood to manufacture my own parts so if you find a place that sells similar pieces it would also be helpfull.
Thanks so far guys for the info

 

Huh?

I don't think this is possible.&nbsp If it's able to get you the extra 20mm+ of offset, you're going to jack the suspension geometry, which will break something...

Ted! your knoledgeable can you please answere this question??

 

Are you talking about front or rear?



-Ted

 

These will be the same as the ones that he has had on his car for at least 6 months that I know of. I am not aware of anything breaking on his car.

I will certainly try my best to get pics of them before and after install. I am very interested in your thoughts on these so I will send you a pm when I post it. Hopefully, some others with some knowledge will comment as well.

I am hoping that these will serve the purpose that I want them to, because I don't want spacers on my front hubs. If problems are pointed out, hey...at least they are not costing me anything.

lol man please, yes both i know nothing about the rx7's suspension system. I have all stock suspension and i simply want to know if i get a tien systyem if there is a way to adjust camber due to the fact that it drops the car almost a full 2 inches

 

get the tein front camber plates. then you can adjust the front camber.

then you need a rear camber link for the rear. almost every rx7 store sells them for around $100.

 

COOL

Thanks.

 

I'm more partial to the K2RD front camber plates.

There is really no nice way to adjust camber in the rear.&nbsp A rear camber adjust rod is available (from both Racing Beat and Ground Control - I like the GC one myself), but they are usually used to dial out excess negative camber with large suspension drops.

2" sounds like too much of a drop.&nbsp You might end up with too much negative camber in the rear which you cannot dial out with a rear camber adjust rod.&nbsp The car ends up scraping a lot of speed bumps being that low.


-Ted

 

Yeah Ted thats what im afraid of. The actual drop for the Tien Flex system is 1.8" front and 1.5" back. The system has full dampening adjustment, and i believe is coil over so that gives me something to play with.

 

Simple question. Simple Answer. Mazda does not have rear camber adjustments on the rear. There are kits for the rear camber adjustments like Ted said. The worst I've seen camber out of adjustment due to ride height was about 2-3 degrees. I've done countless alignments and I'm almost completely sure that adjustment rod would fix it. Most cars, when you lower the suspension, it tends to go negative. Anyone else disagree?

Note: If anyone is interested in improving your handling, setting your caster more postive will give you a better handling for the cost of your tires. Depending on how you drive, if you like curvy roads, you'll most likely wear out the edge of the inner and outter tire wear. This is very minimal but a great modification. Some BMW's have a +9 degree caster.

 

Also, Besure to set your caster evenly on both sides otherwise you'll cause a pull. Most techicans can do that for you with most alignment machines.
