upper control arm

[so-jdm-cb]

what is a good camber kit that will let me slam my car and adjust my camber with out having my upper control arms hitting my inner fender?

There is no such thing. Adjusting the camber while lowering your car will ALWAYS result in your upper control arms hitting. You'll have to hammer out the fenderwell to make more room.

You can only hammer so much till you cant anymore. Even with a big ass sledge hammer. After that you cut a hole in your shock tower above the control arm for it to pass through and quit hitting.

how big of a hole? wouldn't that affect body strength

[deevergote]

Cutting a part that is necessary for chassis rigidity is not a very good idea. One big pothole, or one hard turn, and that metal could easily warp or tear where it has been cut... essentially destroying your car.

Nothing big. It probably does affect strength IDK. But I've know tons of people that have done it to there cb's.

thats what i was thinking, but theres very little room up there,what is the best thing to use to get some sort of leverage to hit it out,thanks for the info

I'm thinking an air hammer would be good for this

im not looking to get my camber back to 0 degrees,but something far less then having -4 and replacing my tires every month, but raising the car up is NOT an option, low is a lifestyle

That, or a long hard pole.

Personally, I'd just not lower the car that much. To me, a slammed car looks broken, and makes the driver look like a ricer kid.
With a car that's lowered a moderate amount, a slight degree of negative camber will keep the arm from hitting, but won't be so severe that your tires will be destroyed quickly.
