SolLesHonda Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 If all you did was put on a camber kit, it won't be any lower. So if it wasn't rubbing before, you messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 That's not true. Before the camber kit (on a lowerd car) the top's of his tires would have leaned inward letting them tuck. Correcting the camber will bring the tops of the tires back out even and could potentially cause rubbing problems. When we finally put the camber kit on my dad's integra we ran into rubbing problems in the rear. We just took it to our bodyshop and had them roll the fenders when they repainted the front bumper (from rockchips). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I didn't drop any more with my camber kit. I didn't know. Good to know though ... I don't have mine dropped too low though either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Well, you're right about a camber kit not making it any lower, just that it changes the angle of the tire, bringing it closer to the inside of the fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown330 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Buy a fender rolling tool and you can roll it without having to paint anything if all it is is a metal lip inside the fender that's rubbing. We used an old baseball bat on a friends car and rolled it just fine without messing up much paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthefloor Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yeah i jacked my car up and stuck a baseball bat between the wheel well and the tire then dropped the car bak down a lil until the bat was snug and then just rolled the bat. It helped a little bit so now i only rub when i hit a big bump. Before it rubbed constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can also crack your paint too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB98LX Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I watched a friend really f@#k up his paint and fenders with the bat trick. It was really funny, cuz he workedfor a tool warehouse where he could have just barrowed a rolling tool, wanted no advise, and was just prying outwards with the bat! Thank god it was a Mazda!

xalexjx@yahoo.com Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 he means some one stand inside the door and roll the bat.... i would suggest having it professionaly done because paint is not cheap or a fast process by any means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBirdSucks Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 all you had to do was raise your car up a bit... this advise is coming from someone who used to have a very slammed del Sol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdelsol Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 +1 why does the car have to be that low? you just hit stuff. bbs, your car is about the perfect height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
