#1 Re drilling strut top holes ???
bugsie Posted on: 2014/3/17 2:36
Anyone redilled the holes in strut for the strut top so there is 2 holes on the guard side and 1 on the engine side and brought them further in to get more camber?? It would mean u are spinning the strut top 180 degrees. U can't really do it where they are because once u move them inwards the hole on the guard side runs out of space because of the opening for the standard top. Just an idea I was thinking about. P0obviously it would only work on tops that sit underneath and not ones that petrude. Hope this makes sense. Any thoughts?

you won't be able to move the top as far in if you do it that way. The flat sides are closer to the centre of the strut than the points of the 'triangle' are, allowing more negative camber with a flat side of the strut top to the inside of the strut tower.

Makes sense. so u are probably defeating the whole purpose by spinning it. The amount u would make up by redrilling would be lost when u rotate it. ??

I have camber tops but I need a bit more. Looks like yours have more adjustment in them. I was going to just get a die grinder and take a bit more out but didn't know how it would effect the strength of the plate. Need about another 10mm at the top to get the camber right. I have modified lower control arms so they are 25mm shorter than standard. I can now easily fit 15x 7's on the front without guard mods. Are those s13 camber tops?? Mine were cheap ebay universal ones. Didn't know the s13 ones fitted until last week :(

While your at it add some more caster as well to improve handling.

Wow that looks like a lot. Although the 200b lca's have the longer ball joint don't they. You are probably 50mm wider at the bottom than I am so that probably explains a lot. Thanks for the pics.

Those cambertops have a lot of adjustment over s13 ones
