wrx kenny Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 hi , ive ordered a set of bc coilovers , my question is do i need a set of camber bolts for when its getting geometry done, i want the car lowered about 40mm max . i dont want to take it up to progrip to be told i need camber bolts . thanks kenny
green_goblin Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I have Bc coilovers on my car and when i got my setup done at Falkland performance they left the camber adjustments on the topmounts and adjusted the camber elsewere!! I asked them about it and they told me they done it under the car!! Jase
dipsy Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) The camber bolts are the bolt going through the lower holes of the shock Edited August 30, 2009 by Dipsy
bobbyc Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Kenny Heres a link mate that explains all, they should come supplied with everything, adjuster extensions etc, Rear adjustment is carried out underneath the car http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/br-series-coilovers.asp Bobby Edited August 30, 2009 by bobbyc
gc8-r Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 just get the bolts as neally all coilovers are non camber adjustable on the rear(as in top pillar adjustable) by the looks of it the bc's are non adjustable.the pic showing the adjustable pillowmount is the front!! so just get them as you can always send them back if you dont use them... chris
arch Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Why did you not ask for camber adjustable rear top mounts the difference in cost is negligable and gives you more flexability. John will have camber bolts in stock anyway he always has them. The car should have one fitted as standard on each hub, whether you eed more will be determined by what settings you want.
green_goblin Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I didnt realise you got camber adjustment bolts on the rear.....dont remember having them on my car when i fitted the coilovers, i thought they just adjusted the camber on the front Oh well, were can you buy the camber bolts from, as i will need a set for the rear of my car for getting the setup done!! Jase
addison Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 did not need them on my 06 WRXas they came with the ajustable tops like the front

Mark sti type R Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) There is no camber adjustment on the rear of the bc coilovers, I bought eibach camber bolts for the back from scoobyparts im getting the alignment done tomorrow http://www.scoobyparts.com/acatalog/EIBACH...MENT_BOLTS.html Edited October 20, 2009 by Mark sti type R

It is always better to adjust the camber at the top mounts if possile as this normally negates the need for camber bolts at the hub as these have a tendancy to move if you hit pot holes etc.
