Accord Camber Kit Fender Cutout?

johnny94 · Post by **johnny94** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 5:17 pm

I just installed new control arms on my 96 4 dr. It has a f&f type II coilovers lowered about 3-3/12 inches in the front. I got a cheap camber kit that adjust the control arm out to compensate for the camber. My problem is the control arm hits the inner fender well with as little as 1 degree of adjustment. The only thing that makes since is to cut out the fender well where it hits. Im sure someone else has had to do something like this, but I havn't seen anything about it online. Just curious about any problems I should be aware of before I cut it out. Or if there is another option (besides adjustable ball joints or anything else that will cost hundreds of dollars) Thanks!

Cutout or modify the piece that the control arm is hitting. Or raise the car back up. Or take off the camber kit. All three obvious solutions will fix your problem.

lowering is a thing of the past. You either raise the vehicle now or just weld the suspension together.

Right on- guess i had it figured out, no one has any horror stories about cutting too much or anything like that? If i cut it out Im planning on taking out a decent chunk
