AE86 has no eccentric's. No camber adjustment without buying either camber plates, adjustable lower control arms, or making your own custom control arms.

How to adjust camber on the front using standard adjustment?
Hi mates. I take the post to make a question about this. A year ago, i mount a lower springs set, about (-4cm). I noticed recently, the car has more negative camber in the right wheel than left one Huh (before than lower springs all were the same).

RCAs are made to correct this error? or the only solution is as assassin10000 says above?

Thanks!

RCA's will do nothing for camber. You need
You need to look at camber with your weight in the car. Might equal left/right out a bit.

Unless they´re NRCA´s they will give you a fair bit of camber.

Should have phrased that better.. They will do nothing for unequal camber left-right... Unless you use NRCA's on one side only.

@ NoHachi Thats a cool idea... Banging head

How much difference you got?

Did you loose the bolt of the lca when you installed the lowering springs?
In case you didn´t it has most likely twisted the bushing and broke it.
Have seen this before on other cars...

Interesting point this... I have taken my (40mm) RCA's in and out a few
times, and never loosened the LCA bolts. I wonder if this has done any
harm ?? Maybe I should take a look Confused

I don't know what is the LCA bolt (i'll have to check all), but the car runs OK, i don't feel any slack or knock in turns, curves or potholes.

How much difference?

Calculated at home:

Diameter of the rims 38.5cm

Difference between vertical level scale and rims:

Right: 0.9cm -----> -1.33º
Left: 1.2cm -----> -1.78º

Maybe the springs cause the problem (it happend to me at the past), what brand are they?

Did you check your caster adjustment? it can also cause some differnece to camber.
