Alright so i really need some camber adjusting. My back wheels are rubbing like CRAZY!!! LOL!! Im running D2 coilovers with 17x9.5+15 with some 235/45/17 tires and their rubbing like crazy. Who here have these D2 coilovers that knows how to adjust camber in the rear or had done this with some other coilovers or can you even adjust camber from the coilovers?Noob question. Lol. Share it with me. Thanks. Heres a picture of them.

You will need to get a rear camber kit for your evo. I believe its just a camber bolt for your cars from what I know. Also, I believe they have adjustable arms.

It should be where coilover and the arm bolts to the hub. I am not to familiar with the EVO platform and if there is a difference in the 8/9 to the 10 to be much of help on what to get and stuff like that...but I am guessing this is something you just try to look into...camber bolts and if there are adjustable arms available....

Honestly I have no idea. But I am running max camber on the front plates (I am guessing like about -4)and rear camber has adjustable camber arms (I am guessing about -5). I still need to go in for an alignment for exact numbers. haha.

I just bought ebay control arms to adjust my rear camber, its cheaper than buying camber plates for the rear. But i have a 240. If that makes a difference lol

You should definitely look on the evo forums about the rear camber adjustment. And I only rubs in the rear with dips on the road at freeway speeds (planning to fix that by December...means slightly more camber for the rear). And so far these tires last me awhile....it seems sumitomos last a long time for some reason haha. Thank you for the comment on the car, much appreciated as well!

there is a bolt to adjust the rear camber at the front of the rear "upper" control arm on evo's. Unfortunately, it also adjusts the toe as well, so you don't get a lot out of it without throwing the rear toe way out, makes the car "twitchy" driving.

they make adjustable lower control arms that will do what you need, I have them on mine, just haven't got it aligned yet.

So these would definately do the job?

So turning that bolt makes the camber change up?
