XxKylexX Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Ok so I'm full of questions. Ill keep it simple here though. So, I lowered my car on Godspeed 04wrx coils. Since its settled and all I've measured the height and on the front the passenger side is about 1/4" higher then my driver. I thought ok I just need to lower that side to even it out. Heres where it gets fun. My measurement was from the ground, flat surface, to the middle fender. Both equaling the same....but from center of the wheel to the fender, 1/4" off. So, upon looking closer. It appears my passenger wheel is cambered more then my driver. Camber on the top of the coils is even. Could it be since I haven't gotten it aligned yet that that is the solution? Or is there some sort of part that is damaged, eg. Hub, spindle, etc. any info will help. Thanks guys.

subikid90 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You also have camber adjustments on the hub using camber bolts. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I don't know anything about how to do proper alignments, but having replaced one of my fenders before, is it not possible that one of your fenders is 1/4" off? I feel like that's not terribly unlikely...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxKylexX Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yes my camber bolts are correct. Hmm....never thought about my fender being off. Haha that could be a possibility though. Does anyone know if an alignment can fix the camber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecBamf41 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 measure the door time or head light for a good fixed spot. the fenders do move. and my god,d o you know what an alignment shop is? of course they can fix all the alignment problems you have.

XxKylexX Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well I've ran into a lot of shops around me that say they don't deal with lowered cars. Period. So that kinda leaves me in The dark to wonder what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If a shop cannot align a lowered are then they are stupid. Most tire shops will do lowered cars. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help guys. If something in the front end is bad (ball joints, tie rods, etc) you will need to fix it before you can get a proper alignment. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
