[mcglynn3636]

Gday guys,
i currently have a 2007 svz ute with stock 18s, it has been lowered front and back (ssl/ultra low in the back and sl/superlow in the front) sits nice and level and im happy with the height. has done approx 8k on tires since lowered and rear tires are seriously worn on the inside, is having camber kit fitted this shud help fix this yes?? also i am unsure about all toe and castor problems that can arise from lowering the front, is there anythin i should b worried about in regaurds to the front end?? also top strut mounts sound f'ed anyone else experience worn out bearings and mounts from lowering front, will this continue to happen if they r replaced?? thank you in advance i have searched and no answer so thought i would post my very first post. thanks

When I did my struts I changed the bearings and bush because the balls had fallen out. $50 for bearings and $80 for bushes, but you can probably find cheaper.

Dunno about the camber kits, but I know the only reason my 245's fit is because of the negative camber when lowered. But I'm not sure where the kits adjust it, it would be great if someone who has had a kit installed commented.

The SVZ will have some adjustment on the rear anyway, but usually not enough. Fitting a four point camber kit will give it a heap more adjustment.

Strut tops are pretty common to go.

I have a set of SuperPro strut tops including bearings you can have for $150. I also do camber kits, a four point SuperPro camber kit is $165. $20 to ship them to you.

thanks for ur help guys, camber kit is being fitted tomorrow, hopefully should fix or atleast reduce the un even tire wear. and my strut mounts and bearings are worn out haha no surprise there, so they will be replaced very very shortly. will probs need to have my rear guards rolled now that camber kit is fitted to accommidate 235s but im unsure yet?? still unsure if there are any other common problems like castor and toe wehn lowering the front end??

im sure there would be some effect, your changing your center of gravity

wow thats super helpful, any ideas as too what might have changed?? i mean anythin in reguards to suspension and factory specs that will have changed that i will need to have fixed or accounted for that may cause damage or excess wear and tear.

Camber kit fitted, camber went from -3.5 both sides to -1.3 with a 2 point camber kit, had full wheel alienment all toe and castor measured and adjusted. toe =3mm each side so 6mm total and castor is a factory spec.
