Chamber kit

Eibach has a Chamber kit for adjusting the chamber beyond factory specs, which is great to remove some of the factory set chamber. Have you all installed one? I would be curious if it does as it says, I may be the guinea pig on this, lol

Hmm they look like the ones on PFYC. They replace the strut bolts. Unless your groping the goat, I don't see why you would need them.


But if your looking to add camber adjustment for the rear. There are a few options. Peders, Noltec, and Fulcrum. I currently have the quad set of Noltecs sitting in the garage. I may not even need them.

Again Thanks...I am not actually having issues with the back, I have 22k on them now, time for new ones though, the front though really is extreme, third set of tires on the front, the ones I have now are BF NT's and the outside of the tires are almost new and the inside edge is **** near the cord...I am hoping that changing out the struts/bushings/bearing will correct it, I fear that the front springs are weak though and sagging the front making for more chamber than is really intended...(that may be a retarded comment) So I might have to go with swapping out the springs too, the only spring I know of are the Eibach ones, (will check the ones you mentioned soon though) and I have heard too many things about them being too soft, particularly when mated with Koni yellows...

Whats funny here...is when we got our 88 Conquest in 93, after about five years it liked to "need" something about every year or so and finding varieties of parts was tough to say the least...all the other cars I have owned up until the Goat have been real easy...this has been tough...makes me feel like I have something special...hehe...I have tried to find slotted vented oem replacement rotors for years, and only recently I found that EBC is making some

oops this is getting too long I save this for later...

I was going to make a separate post about rotors - but see you mentioned them here. I am a skeptic but found eBay to be awesome for certain parts. Drilled/slotted rotors are readily available on eBay. They're about $200 for all 4 including shipping. You can find a kit that comes with the pads too - but I bought the best pads I could at a local store so I'd have a lifetime warranty on those. Rotors usually come with a year or 2 year warranty. Don't they always go bad after two years anyway? Just thought I'd share that I have gone through two sets of rotors from eBay (2 separate GTOs) and have had AWESOME experiences with both. Best brakes I ever had. They come zinc plated and some even offer different colors (arguably gay). Just thought I'd share. They're nice rotors for $50 a piece - and stop great. Two of my other buddies picked up rotors for their cars (trans am and a camaro) after I told them about them. Both were impressed.

That will help out a ton with the wear. I would also look into doing the front radius rod bushings as well. Many places sell a "kit" to correct these issues.

Also DBA makes a good rotor. I've had my slotted 4000 series for a while now and like them.
