Arif Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I lowered my Z with MSA springs (the rears suck) and want to know how to correct the geometry of the suspension. I went to get it aligned and they said it was way out of tolerance and suggested the frame may be bent, I think it has to do with me lowering the car and the sagging rear springs because they bottom out frequently.

blueovalz Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Raise it back up!. Okay, sorry for the sarcasm. I'm guessing your suspension has a great deal of negative camber. One method is the Delrin/aluminum eccentric control arm bushings, which will help a little, but probably not as much as you want. Then there are camber plates placed on top of your strut towers that allow more adjustment. Another option (rarer) is a set of control arms that are adjustable at ZF Racing .

Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 As well you could make a spacer block for the rear upper strut mount to increase it's overall length. But that may just help mask less than ideal springs. If they compress easily you'll still have excess camber on acceleration (squat) which provides less than ideal traction and tire wear. I've got MSA's and now tokico's shelved/used from customers that switched to coilovers. If yours are barely used you'd stand your best chance of recouping your best value out of them shortly......if you find somone they may be suitable for (what ride type that is I'm not sure).
