What have you done to correct your camber? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Here is a question for all of you.  What kind of suspension set up do you have and how bad is your camber and what did you use to fix it?  

v8killer · 10-25-2001, 08:52 AM

First off, it seems like no matter how much you lower the car, there always seems like negative camber, because the wheels are so straight up-and-down to begin with. BUT, I know that there are bushings that you can buy that are urethane and offset to adjust- (cheap and PIA) -OR- you could go with Enjuku Racing's camber kit, found at their website for about 350.00. I can't seem to find the bushings now, but I'll keep looking, and post it when I find them...
Good Luck!

YES TRM! Thanks for helping me NOT become a liar!!!! <whew>! LOL

**West** · 10-25-2001, 09:02 AM

Best way is to get yourself some Cusco Rear Upper Control Arms. They cost about $360 but they are badass and you can adjuste your camber setting for the rear.

It just so happens that I might sell mine off my car though. Let me know if your interested <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> hehe

TRM02 · 10-25-2001, 09:19 AM

WeST, can I ask what you are going to do to correct your camber?

**West** · 10-25-2001, 09:38 AM

I already have a set of the Cusco Upper Control Arms, they are about a week old and just installed, but since I am selling my car I feel whomever buys it can fix there own camber since I wont get my $360 back from selling my car with them on there.

burgy240 · 10-25-2001, 02:29 PM

West, how much do u need 2 recover........hint, hint?

**West** · 10-25-2001, 04:47 PM

$300 Shipped...

The Cusco Components really do more then just fix camber. You will laugh at the stock control arms once they are off your car. They are a toothpick compared to the Cusco Arms. It made the rear end hook very well.

*drifterx* · 10-26-2001, 10:39 AM

hey mark why r u selling your car? what r u getting?

wav399 · 10-27-2001, 03:27 AM

Can you use the Cusco arms for a S13?  and are these better for the car than the bushings pdm sells?

silvia240 · 10-28-2001, 05:17 AM

Hey west.... you are talking about only the rears.. right?  It would be the lower control arms.  And exactly how much degrees of camber will they ajust?  Since you might be selling your car, how about throwing in your suspension for 100 bucks?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?? hehehee...... Ohh and what about your fronts? What did you use of fix that?

10-28-2001, 07:13 PM
