lookin good, looks like you still have a lot of room.

YEah I still have alot of room..It would be about an .5-1" lower it it was not for my driveway and since It does not see pavement everyday no way am I parking it in on the sidewalk..might just have to hold off on aero and get some bags to through over my coilovers...If I slam it more I could probably use a 25mm spacer..

[PANCAKES!]

VERY NICE! :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup:
How did you adjust the camber in your front?

[zion_97]

Pancakes,
Jic COilovers come with adjustable camber plates:dance: Thats one of the perks:biggthumpup:

However you can purchase adjustable camberplates that will fit on your current set up should you want them hit up Beji as he just got some not to long ago.

[Miyabita_Y33]

Nice but could be lower... i know what you mean by driveway i scrape sometimes and im not as low as you.

[monopolizedinc]

looking good man did you use extended studs with the spacers just throw them on or are they bolt on? i need a set for teh front of my q45 but the stock studs seem short

[zion_97]

Thanks Dawg,
YEah stock studs seem a little short...I got extended lugs to go with these slap on spacers..When the spacers are this small if you get the bolt on adpaters your wheels have to have indendtions behind the wheel to allow for the stock lugs other wise you will need to go with a 25mm that hides the lugs within..

[Pagong]

As always looking good.

But, is that the max the JIC's will allow for the camber adjustment in the front?

[VIP-UCF]

how much camber did you get in the front? ...maybe 2-3*? looks good!

where did you find the studs ?

Yeah thats the max that I can get out of them:sad: ..I guess next step would be adjustbale arms of some sort..I am going to have to look into it any ideas?

Not sure as to how much camber.. here is a photo..you can see where it use to be and where it is now..I am guess from the line on the balljoint and set to 0 on the camber would be 0 right..but then you can count 7 lines back but then that would be -7 degrees wich is no way..so I have no clue..I am seen those meters you can use on your wheels to give you procise messurments.I am actually hunting for one at a good price..

Thanks both of yous!

Expensive though 81900 yen

However you can purchase adjustable camberplates that will fit on your current set up should you want them hit up Benji as he just got some not to long ago.Unfortunately the Yahoo Japan Auction seller I purchased my Cusco ones from skipped town and I never received them. :sad:

Thanks both of yous!Move both of those top 2 screws in that pic to the extra slots in the bottom of that pic and you can add more camber.

[zion_97]

AAAAAA I will check tomorrow and see if there are slots for all four screws and if that is an option..that would be great :biggthumpup: ..Do you know if they just should just unscrew and screw back in..or do I have to mess around and take the coilovers out? Seems like I should be able to just jack up the car and unscrew and move them..IF that the case I will order some 25mm adapters and push these babies out more to mach the back..

Just fully unscrew those screws and screw them back through in the farthest positioned holes, which you can see in the bottom of that pic.

[zion_97]

Ok I gots some more photos for you all..
BEnji your the man..it worked...Looks like there is evern more room for more adjustments but I kept withn the lines..

I love these JIC's man...these used babies have surpassed my expectations by far..

Anyways on to some pics..its really close to matching up with the back. witha 25mm adapter I think I will have my front and rear fitment down perfect. (for my taiste)
I love this shot mucho camber.. car is on the floor jack is just in the way..look at the rear tire as well..looks like a match.

look how much it came back in

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/q45t07/camber2.jpg
Look at where the lines meet up..looks like now its maxed out..hee hee hee..
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/q45t07/camber4.jpg
Time for another allignment...shit..another $70

So it looks like the camber plates are worth it!

[DaygoVIP619]

shits lookin cherry man! props for that mad camber you got goin on. i wish i had the

wheels right now so i could roll low like you :signdammit:

[estima_couture]

not sure exactly, but it looks like you could get even more camber by moving the inner screws to the next lower hole. you would hit the upper ball mount on the cars strut opening though. but a quarter inch is a quarter inch right?

and to be extreme you could always grind the strut opening open a little more!

[Pagong]

Excellente!! looks good man...

[zion_97]

estima_coutre
Well actually this is it..I just did the left side and the ball mount is right against edge of the camber plate. Its alot of camber to me at least..I would not want more than this at this point in my
project..I will back it up and snaps some more pics so you guys can see better..

[zion_97]

Here are some more pics...I think once I get those spacers on I think
you will be able to notice the added - camber even more..

[PANCAKES!]

I'm feelin your front camber!!!!!
:biggthumpup: :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup:

[Benji]

Benji your the man..it worked...Awesome! Yea, I thought that moving the screws would do it. I got some good news for me today. Luckily my Cusco upper mounts finally arrived at the Rinkya warehouse so I should be getting them shortly. The added camber on your fronts look cool. I can't wait to do mine.

[Pagong]

That does look good..

Hey Benji, is that Cusco part specific for the Q45? can you pm me?

[zion_97]

MOre pics for you guys....Washed here real quick before the rain...
Benji if you read this camber does = more drop..I scraped a lot more than usual on my way down and up my driveway...just look at the spacing between the ground and the middle of the car in the last picture, not much room at all..must have droped about .5"-1" not from the fender but the ground.

A bodykit will finish this car off. Now you have to answer alot of questions from local folks..."something wrong with yer wheels right der"

[AME_VIP]

are the fronts a little sunk now? I would probably ad some camber back in to make the fronts more flush.

[zion_97]

yeah they are sunckn in now but not for long..Once I get a 25mm wheel adapter spacer in there it will most likely have a nice little poke .*)

[monopolizedinc]

maybe im not grasping your ideas but why would you want to add spacers just to keep camber? if you strighten the wheel out to loose the gap you will be doing 2 things at once... loosing the gap and saving your tires

but then again adding the 25mm spacers and all the camber will just drop your car that little bit more mmmm it can honestly be a hard decision

[firelizard]

Is the camber on front just for looks then? Or are you trying to clear something in the fender?

Becuase I am trying to achieve a certain flow with my car...I want the fronts and rears to look the same...I dont want one with heavy camber and the other one with little or none. If the rear did not call for such heavy camber nor would I be messing with the fronts...but i am picky like that...when I see cars with alot of camber in the rear and the fronts are sticking straight up and down I think hhmmm something looks out of place...just my opion and persoanl prefference..

Is the camber on front just for looks then? Or are you trying to clear something in the fender?

No its not all for looks, Well The thing is I want to have more poke in the front. To mach my rear tires..The rear is a 10.5"and the front a 9"..So In my eyes when I look at it from the front of the car I think the front wheels are poking out enough.. It draws are your attention to the rear..What I am after is having the fronts and rears mach a liitle more..So in order for me to push out the fronts where I want them I will need the added camber for clearance in my fenders other wise I will rub the tire agianst the inner fender..and I am not about to try to pull my fronts after my expierence with the back...lol...

What do you think looks better side to side:

with little camber
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/q45t07/2-2.jpg
with max camber

vip is camber.

Going flush without camber does not look vip, it looks like 90% of honda guys who accidentally get 'poke' with anything under +50 offset.

I'm surprised to see questions about saving tyres; if it was all about that then we would stick with normal offsets and we would be using camber kits to correct camber!

To answer your question Zion, of course camber upfront looks better (would be kind of funny to say otherwise after my rant :))

[VIP-UCF]

don't worry zion, i'm on the same page as you...looks very good...it seems your color white is a lot more yellow than mine...yours is almost a creme color...keep it up! and yeah, a kit WILL set it off nicely...and maybe some new new wheels...not really feelin' those.

[Yokotas13]

i like it
but space the front and the rear

whats up with the puill in the rear? Its all ramped out?

:werd2: Thanks Dom...thats exactly how I feel..

Thanks Dennis. YEah I mine seems to be more ivory than a white...maybe its cause mines an 97 and yours is a newer..I know with the lexus lx470..the white pearl they used from like 98-02 is more yeallow has a gold pearl in than the newwer ones which are more white with a silver pearl in it...thats my best guest..New wheels maybe in the future...I really like these that I have..the way they look,,there lips and the way the look when they spin...Its been real hard to find all that in one wheel for me. It would be nice though to have something new in the same sizes....*)

The fronts will get spaced out but the rears can not..if you saw it in person you would no what I mean..the rear tires are very close to the upper part of the fender..anything more and it will rub..

The ramp on my fenders is for my sons skateboard..its a luanch ramp...lol...I am just waiting to get it fixed till I get an aero kit so I can do it all at the same time.

[firelizard]

Aye, I do think the front camber looks better, though of course the spacers will make it even better

[zion_97]

:oktm: Well its just we have different taistes...

[monopolizedinc]

i guess being that i do not have a ton of camber in the rears i didnt think of my front tires not matching up but with your comparision pic i see what you mean. It helps give the car a more structured look unlike some that just look like something is broke in the rear ;)

[zion_97]

you got it brotha:biggthumpup: ...It these little detail that will make your car look like a VIP car from Japan...There are many differences between JP VIP and US VIP..We over look these little things..and wonder why our US vip cars arnt at the same level of the JP VIP cars...this is my theory its not fact just observation and opinion..ITs all about how the car flows..when folks look at
my car I dont want them to stop at the massive rear lips and mad camber..I want there eyes to be moving from front to back..The reason behind this is that when they start to think something is broken the see the front and say Waite Waite Waite the front is like that to..hhhhmmmmm..lol

[jubei07]

Nice Zion, nice!!! It definately matches the rear, the offset on the rear wheel is -10 right? I do have a question for the rear camber, all you did was adjust you rear eccentrics right, man that's hella cambered. When you get it aligned post up your results front & rear camber, toe, and caster.

I have 01 Q45t 19x9.5 +6 and 19x10.5 -1 Amistad Dish, here are my specs:

LF RF
Camber:-1.4 (in spec) Camber:-1.8 (out of spec/ non-adj)
Caster:6.0 (in spec) Caster:6.6 (in spec)
Toe:0.08 (in spec) Toe:0.06 (in spec)

LR RR
Camber:-2.9 (out of spec) Camber:-3.0 (out of spec)
Toe:0.01 (in spec) Toe:0.10 (in spec)

Suspension : Tein S-tech and OEM touring struts
adjustable Z32 Tension Rods (front caster)
adjustable S14 RUCA (rear camber)
adjustable S13 Toe rods (rear toe)

[zion_97]

My rears are 10.5 -8....Yeah the eccentrics nut is turn to the max, thats all.

[VIP-UCF]
