    Congratulations on the baby! Bought my GTI back in April and feel like I've gained a wealth of knowledge from your videos, so thank you very much.

    I lower my b6 passat with coilovers.
    My camber is so off after alignment
    Any suggestions on a affordable rear camber kit?

    @roman.la. Před 5 lety

    @DeutscheAutoParts was the rear camber adjusted? Or did the camber change because of made toe adjustments?

    For better handling and less understeer setup less negative camber on rear. ..😉

    Is it ok to have an alignment right after a spring install, or is it best to wait for full settling?

    • @ARjr247
      @ARjr247 Před 3 lety +6

      I’ll wait 2 weeks minimum and then get alignment. You WILL see a change of a drop when they settle.

    How low do you have to go before camber angles become a problem. Looking to drop it .75 also do I need adjustable endlinks to lower the car- in other words how bad is pre load

  • @jeffortman6395
    @jeffortman6395 Před 7 měsíci

    I think it depends on how many miles you want to wait before getting an alignment. On mine it's been over 300mi. My car pulls to the right 😂

      Can you guys chime in and lead me to correct my rear camber or problem with rear tires with eibach lowering springs eating the insides of my tires. The shop alignment guy said there was nothing to adjust. Driving 07 gti. Went through a brand new set of tires in 6 months and several used ones. I just don’t know what to buy to fix the problem and trying to find what I need to buy. Thanks in advance!

      @@hardcore4476 Hard to say without seeing the specs of your last alignment but going through tires typically is toe related, less so camber.

    So I lowered my car with a set of ecs coilovers like 7-8 months ago I never got a wheel alignment just due to work and other stuff I'm getting alot of rattling from the front end of my car that's also due to a problem I'm dealing with ECS right now with defective front sway bar links, would a lack of an alignment wear out my coilovers or my bushings
