Question on KYB

Post by 95mx3 »

my friend will be ordering me a set of KYB shocks tomorrow (b/c he gets discounted prices through his business :love: ). he had said they were adjustable? im not sure whether or not KYB makes adjustable's? does anyone know?

and second since i do have BRAND NEW (havent touched ground yet) tires im gonna need a camber kit. already know a few places to get them but i was wondering will a camber kit *completly* eliminate uneven tire wear?

had my car lowered before on just coilovers, haha wow did that ride suck(cant stress the word "suck" enough), wouldnt reccommend that to anyone, buy a good set of shocks, also went through brand new tires in less than 6 months!!!! thats why im figuring i better do this right if im gonna lower it again.

ok KYB makes a GR2 ( non adjustable) and a agx adjustable.

the camber kit um could help if your camber is off but have it alligned first, it could be your toe thats off. this will prevent un even tire wear, however im guessing that the tires u have are a lower tread wear, doing burnouts and stuff with them will cause them to wear a lot faster as well

There is no such thing as a camber kit for a Macpherson strut equipped car..

Mx-3's use eccentric bolts instead. ANYTIME the car is lowered, it changes not only camber but toe as well. The car should be aligned soon after the car is droped. In most cases you don't even need the aftermarket bolts in the first place.
