Hey all,
I put on a set of the H&R coilovers with noltec tops last week and roughly set up the camber.
I just got back from my alignment and even with the noltecs pushed all the way in and back for max negative camber and caster, I'm only getting -1.2. The alignment guy said it seems like the coilovers don't have as oblong a hole for the camber bolt as the stock struts do and sometimes you have to grind it bigger. Would that really be the case? I'd hate to think H&R would do that.

anyone?

 

never mind I guess.
I will just go post it in my regional forum....

 

Wagon or Sedan?

 

Sedan
h&R's with noltec camber/caster plates.
called H&R and they swear the hole is as oblong as on the factory strut.

 

Did you have any issues putting the stock camber bolt back in up front? If they fit fine, then it's not an issue with H&R's hole.

 

Did the installer push in on the top of the rotor/hub while setting the camber bolt to max when installing? The strut hole has quite a bit of play in it and if the hub isn't pressed in at the top while snugging up the bolts you can easily lose 1/2 to 3/4 degree of neg. camber, even with the bolt maxed out.

 

I will check that out. Thanks.
