bmx9854 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 How can I correctly adjust my camber (f&r) for my lowering springs? The first set of tires i had on them wore on the edges and i don't want the same to happen on the next set i will need soon. Btw I only have the stock 15" wheels on an 850.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanGreenSwedeMachine Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Whenever you change your suspension/steering stuff you have to get an alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 i never had camber issues with ANY of the lowering setups I've had.....I've always been good to go with an alignment...but then again, all of my suspension components have been brand new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow95 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Dont just assume its a camber issue. Toe-in will wear out the outer edges also.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick70 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Dont just assume its a camber issue. Toe-in will wear out the outer edges also.Gary+1, and as pras was saying i likewise have seen 0 issues out of lowering springs and camber, im running right around a full degree in the front with 0 wear issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Account_Deleted_T5M Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 You realize that taking apart the suspension misaligns EVERYTHING, this is a common knowledge answer, go get an alignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippineT5 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 definetly when using lowering springs, your suspension will have a negative camber.. camber kits can solve this but i dont think its really needed when just using lowering springs since the maximum drop is only 35-40mm.getting an alignment and setting the toe-in/out at factory specs will help in a big way.. you will not have much un-wanted inner tire wear. thats my opinion tho :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx9854 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 After the springs were put in I had an alignment done and I ended up with negative camber. Maybe a camber kit is the solution but they're kind of pricey for two wheels, any other place to buy them?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
