Best rear adjustable camber kit for 95 ti

bimma313 · 05-10-2005, 07:48 PM

I have a 95ti and and the camber is real bad in the rear. Inner tires wear out every 3-6 months. ( Took it to a shop and they said they weren't adjustable? Camber or alignment) I'm looking into buying a rear adustable camber kit. I'm looking for something that is easy to adjust and easy to install. Anyone have any other brands?

I looked at Eibach, Intrax, Rogue engineer and a few other here are the links I found...
Any replies will be thankful.

I'd like to know this as well. However the one from M Motorworks doesn't seem to fit the Ti.

www.bavauto.com have some for $260.00.

It looks like you have to change out the trailing arm bushings. I didnt think it was adjustable at all, but I guess if you have an adjustable bushing , you can change the position of the mounting of the trailing arm, which will change the camber. Now that I think of it...could you have worn trailing arm bushings? That could throw stuff off.

I have the same problem, but mine is 'cause I lowered the car. I heard the same about moving the trailing arms around.

****, something else to spend money on...damn, this car really is a Break My Wallet.

lol ... as far as i know, there are TWO ways to do it on our cars. eccentric trailing arm bushings (which is what bavauto has) and the way i'm doing it, eccentric trailing arm mounts which are welded to the subframe (separately adjustable camber and toe kits, $75 each but a LOT for labor - i'll let you know how much when it's done, lol). that kit from jcwhitney appears to be for the 318 and most likely not the ti. here are some articles to check out. the kmac (and other eccentric bushings) sound like a pain in the ass to get set the way you want since you're adjusting both at the same time (camber and toe).

I have real bad negative camber. So Im just concern about not having to buy 2 sets of tires every year. But I think I just wanna do the bushings does not have to be exact settings for me. With that said difficulty to install these bushings anyone? Bushings in general suck to install, but I think I can handle this. Thanks for your replies.

Bavauto is charging 2x as much for theirs compared to Eibach or Intrax. Anyone has any experiences? Or where should I get the bushings from? Thanks.

I hope you guys realize that camber usually has very little to do with accelerated tire wear. Most of the wear is caused by too much toe. I have more than 2 degrees of negative chamber in the rear and been running on the same tires for almost 3 years (~20k miles, and auto-xing every 3-4 weeks).

So ...check your rear toe first.

with the adjustable camber and toe, i should be set

toe is not adjustable stock out of the box, right? even with the eccentric bushings, not sure how much toe adjustment you can get/correct.

Hey All has any one tried these eccentric bushings on there Ti cause I sure would like to know if they work! running full coilovers have front dailed in to spec because of new steering rack but rear not so good. Have done many tire rotations to try to stay ahead of wear but it's caught up to me. Before new tires want to get rear camber as close to spec as possibale. We are low about 3" all around. What ya all think? Be kind

Thanks vwt3

This should help: Thanks to Gustave Stroes for this one!

Yes, toe would be the more important factor. Camber less so. The eccentric bushings do not allow independent adjustment so it's a compromise.

Hope that helps.

Thanks ChrisS, I've read that before, the e-30 must have the same set up as the Ti, not sure on the toe, but I need to get the rear more upright. Looks like it will need alot of fine tuneing of the ecentric bushings!!
