Sometimes it works. To be honest , for $150-200 a good mechanic can resurface the fronts without sacrificing too much iron. It drives me nuts , to feel pulsation under light braking around 60mph
I agree. The car handles so much better with the correct alignment. I will dial mine a tad back , since -2.6 in the front L is reducing ride comfort a bit.
I will report back after getting everything ‘perfect’.
Sorry to hear about the warped rotor. I will not get into a discussion wether warped rotor is a ‘real’ thing, but these rotors are thick enough that you can get them resurfaced and remove any pad deposits/uneven wear.
As for alternatives- check if Girodisc has 380X34 rings. You might be able to...
2nd update:
I took the car for an accurate alignment on a Hunter machine. It turns out my front camber is -2.6L & -2.1R
I find it interesting that I was able to get so much negative camber without even using the “camber plates” at mentioned in the owners manual ( see above post #1).
I’m sure...
Update: I followed @poor-sha video and it applies to the 4BW as well. I banged out the top bolt and just released the bottom nut. I was able to get around -2.0 in the front. The 4BW has another option on the shock tower ( similar to ZL1 1LE) to achieve additional -0.5 which I won’t use since...
Thanks for the link. If I read it correctly, it’s basically the pinch weld cutouts ( for sure in the front). These lift points are close to impossible to use, and a matter of time until we’ll break some plastics.
Thank you for your feedback. Personally, I had bad experiance with this type of pinch weld pad. It shifted during a lift and broke my rocker panel. Maybe I just didn't use it correctly.
As a former 6gen Camaro, I thought it would be simple to jack up my 4BW. It seems I was wrong. The pinch weld area is very narrow and plastic moldings are in the way. I tried to lift the car with both floor jack and a 2 post lift. It’s not an easy task…
I purchased the ZL1 Addon (Camaro) jack...
Looking at the 5BW video makes me wonder if the 4BW also use a spline bolt that you have to hammer out. The alignment tech definitely did not tap it out, he just loosened it.
I took my car to a race shop for an alignment. My goal was to get -2.0 in the front as this is my daily driver and I was worried about ride comfort and steering 'wondering' with the -2.5 option as seen in the owners manual (removing bolt from the strut tower - similar to Camaro ZL1 1LE - See...
1. Not all states allow a non refundable deposit.
2. Nice communication with the sales manager always helps.
3. Always pay a deposit by credit card, so you could dispute if the goat’s crap hits the fan.
I called. Dealer did not know. They said somebody from service needs to dig into the service manual, as the car is too new and it doesn’t show under the parts list. They had several options which 2 of them listed above. Didn’t know which one is the correct item.
