Default camber kit install

ok so i just finished installing my camber kit, (springs and shocks prolly in a couple days) , anyways when i first started driving there was quite a bit of banging when i first turned and braked, now it is mostly better, except it bangs every time i brake . I assume its coming from the kit hitting the fender?, if not what is it? is this bad, will i break anything, and will the sound eventually go away?

wow thats a lot of questions haha, please answer what you can.

man when i first rolled out of the driveway i felt like i was gonna die with all that banging i was like oh sh!t

I"m not that familiar with Camber kit, but from the sound if it, I don't think it's Ok at all. I would get it checked out if i was u, probably u left something sticking in or forgot to tighten the bolts when u install them. same problem with me when people install my suspension system, no cmabter though, but the left a hanger - dunno what it's for - there and it's making the same sound as u described

I dunno about the banging when you stop and turn. When I have mine on, it bangs when I just go through dips and bumps, but it does go away and the bang is from hitting the fender. But you also mentioned that you havent put in springs or shocks yet...either when you get your shocks and springs put on (if it's in a couple of days) or soon, ask the mechanics to check if they are okay. You don't want something from you camber kit coming out while you are driving (that's what happend to me)

Throw Up Some Pics Of Your Camber Kit Installed & Maybe We Can Make A Better Suggestion About Why It Might Be Hitting.

At This Point I Have My Money On It Being Your Upper Control Arm Knockin Against The Fender Well Now That You've Altered Suspension Geometry

im pretty certain that's whats causing it since it started right after i installed the kit,anyways, is there a way to quiet it or get rid of the noise, also will it eventually stop after it has been in a while

It will eventually stop after a while if it's the control arm hitting the fender....mine did.

I also have the same concern. I am installing my front camber kit tommorrow and im lowered 2.25 on stock rims.. Im scared its going to hit my fenders but the problem is i have stupid fiberglass z3 fenders.. i shouldnt have bought them in the first place..

I dont want there to be a big ass hole after i drive around a little bit..

what should i do?

sorry for the thread jacking..
