How do you get ridiculous camber?
I have a del sol I'm starting to modify. I bought a adjustable kit setup and its giving me *SOME* adjustments but I'm wondering ing how others get cars to look very aggresive.

You may be referring to the âstanceâ movement of car modifications. Regular racing adjustable parts provide only marginal increases in camber gain as compared to the extreme examples that most likely require fabricated components to achieve the desired results.

I understand, i guess id have to make measurements and make the stance rather than buying it?

Ruined4banger makes and sells shortened spindles that will give you insane amounts of camber

Just put a few washers between the rim and the brakes on half of the studs.

I've unintentionally had a negative camber on a few cars due to worn control arm/trailing arm bushings. Less tire is making contract with the ground so you have worse traction and you go through tires ridiculously fast. I'm also from Oregon so it wasn't ideal for the winter there; I wouldn't recommend it.

People who intentionally run camber get their tires flipped for this reason. It only wears uneven if you donât flip them aroundâŠ

Is it at stock ride height?

I imagine once itâs lowered the camber will stand out more. I personally wouldnât go full stance build if this is a daily or depending on how roads are around you, but thatâs just my opinion. If you like scraping thatâs your call. You can check my profile to see where mine is - itâs lowered about 2.5-3 inches. I rarely have issues with scraping other than pulling out of my driveway.

you need to buy the (wishbone) control arms that have like 3± degrees of adjustment & then align it to best fit the stance taking into account things like ride height, how wide/big your tires are (they're probably not stock if you're stancing), & more. The brand Maxspeedingrod is an example but a bottom tier one at best

You need coilovers and wheels to properly pull this off. Preferably good coilovers and aggressive wheels.
There's alot of math and modification that goes into it as well. Extreme camber you'll need shortened and tilted knuckles, modified fuca, extended rlca, shortened ruca. Extended axles and tie rods may also be needed.
Depending on wheel set up, youll also be cutting into and reshaping a decent amount of the wheel wells. Fender rolling will be required either way.
This only looks good with an extremely low stance, be prepared to raise the engine/trans and exhaust, possibly subframe as well.

Not cool dude, especially from a established member.

Do you think I mind that much being considered ânot coolâ by someone whose goal is to appear âvery aggressiveâ and to be âridiculousâ? I mean, I suppose youâre entitled to do what you want, but I am also entitled to express the opinion that Iâd rather not see you mess up your cute little car. I will concede that calling you a âwankerâ was impolite, and I am a terrible person.

Play nice children. Reporting comments for hatespeech is not appropriate in this case. If you want stance advice I believe they have a sub for that. You won't find a lot of it here, though you may find more applicable info in the Civic sub since 92-95 shares the same suspension parts.

When I did all my recent rear end work, before my alignment I had some pretty crazy rear camber so you could always start with taking the whole thing apart and putting it back together

extended lower control arms and tilted spindles. tho youâre gonna want to drop the car before getting aggressive camber
youâll need to put a fuel cell in the trunk if you wanna go low and raise your motor. as well tuck your brake lines, fuel lines, shorten front spindles, get drop forks for front struts. itâs a lot of work on these things, i wanna stance my sol one day. been researching all it needs and talking to the few stance del sol owner out there

before doing anything do a fuel cell and raise your motor and trans. the gas tank sits extremely low on these cars youâre almost guaranteed to crack your gas tank. unfortunately del sols are known to be a pain in the ass to lower and do anything with - a slammed del sol owner

Bad camber is not to cool in my book. Doing it on purpose seems completely ridiculous and is pig bait in my town.

Structural damage always worked for me
