Do you think this would be ok to use on non-lowered vehicles to adjust front camber for autocross?

They also list this one:

I have been talking to a guy at work who autocrosses, and he said that camber adjustment in the stock SCCA class is legal to a point. Dodge actually sold smaller diameter bolts for their front struts so that there would be play and the camber could be adjusted in their neons.

There is actually a GM procedure to file out the mounting holes where the strut mounts to the knuckle to be able to adjust camber in alignment. The guy at work said that this was also legal in SCCA stock class as long as you don't go too far with the filing or adjustment.

 

Anyone?

Most people check out the new posts on the main page, so that is why I bump!

edit: found out it is not legal for SCCA stock, but still something that I would like to know an answer to.

 

NOTE: These parts are intended for use in vehicles with abnormal alignment and are designed to replace the non-adjustable factory equipment. These parts are not designed for installation on vehicles with suspension and/or steering systems modified for racing, competition or any other non-standard purpose.

Sounds like a bad idea for a handling race...

 

That's the camber kit I have. Here's the deal.

If you lower your car you want a camber kit.
If the drop is only an inch like the Eibach springs, your alignment will take care of everything but when the springs finaly settle, it's nice to be able to adjust for that.

It's the best $15.50 you could spend.

 

I would say it's just what you need. You will have to remove the stock bolts and file out the hole in the struts to get the adjustment anyway. I would think if you use the adjustible bolts and put index marks on them you would easily be able to put your camber back to stock for street use. If you just file out the holes it will be much harder (but possible) to adjust the camber as precisly as you might want. If you were just lowering the car and just needed to set camber once I wouldn't spend the money.

Get the alignment done by a shop if you plan to use these....

 

I would say you should follow the GM recomendation fo sloting the struts.
