after a long time

busy with office, drove it only once in last one and half month.

[hamza91]

but did you like the drive

[OwaisYunus1]

@drift222 Looks very nice (y) do the stock camber adjusting bolts allow a 5 degree negative camber or did you install a camber kit? I have it at 1 degree negative since the tyres used to rub on the wheel arch. For me, anything greater than 1 degree would cause uneven wear on the tyres real quick since this is a sort of a daily driven car.

this isn't exactly the last thing in the term "lowered"

well no camber kit is needed you would have to change the bolts though! to attain more negative camber and as far as tyre wear is concerned well you have to bear that loss for sake of stance

Ahan I guess the bolts would be thinner under the bolt head to allow room for movement in the camber. Though I'm happy with 1 degree as it has solved my issue of the wheels rubbing. In a frequently driven car, stance takes a backseat to functionality

mines daily driven as well but i had to try out the drop and stance

[drift222]

@Owais_Yunus everything is very well explained by @hamza91, rear suspension in my car is almost stock except smaller springs.

Simply for the sake of stance it is compromise over life of tyres over and somewhat to road grip. Since most of the time I drive alone and that too on weekends only so I am good with it.
However, IMO -ve camber suits with deep dish wheels, when wheel is slightly out of fender or just inline with fender. whereas, in my car even lower end of wheel is inside body. In lowered charade u can't instll those wheels because there is no room.

I achieved this camber accidentally. I went to a mechanic for up-gradation of rear brakes, while box up he adjusted camber without wheel. And when we installed wheel it appeared to be like this.

Took the car for alignment and got 2nd wheel adjusted as well.

sorry I just rechecked photo, it is -4 degree, not -5.

Looks very nice imo even without the rims being deep dished I have deep dished wheels and they used to rub inside the flares. At the alignment shop, while adjusting the camber, they took it to 3 degrees which looked very nice, still, like you said the wheels barely made it out of the flare from the bottom. I guess higher offset wheels can achieve the proper stance but they wont fit into charade's flares unless you have them rolled.
