Camber correction?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

If i am just going to lower it like 1.3"-1.5" would i need to correct the negative camber, or could i get away with it as is? Dont want to burn up tires really fast, so ill fix if it needs to be. Advice/pics? Any help appreciated. thanks.

-1.5 WONT kill tires
that's a MYTH
bad toe WILL
thats why after you lower cars you GET AN ALIGNMENT, primarily to fix that toe which will just murder tires

now camber ipersonally say beyond -3 then you'll REALLY notice wear
many of my friends use -2 or so daily and no unusual or obscene camber wear. -2.5 is ok too, but i say -3 or more, it will wear much faster, especially if you go on the track

UCanTry: pillow ball mounts

no, rear is pillow ball and you CANNOT adjust rear camber via them.
fonts need camber plates
rear needs upper arms
stock has a eccentric bolt, i THINK there are aftermarket ones not sure. but rear upper arms will get it back to 0 degrees or up to -10 or more im sure hahaha..

it will kill. i have -1.8 degree camber on my pass. side rear wheel... and its killing it. fast too.

my toe wasnt off taht bad (i lowered my s14 1.5") but i got that fixed. s14s have rear camber adjustment bolts, i know that... so you can fix it. but if the front is off, your screwed, like me.
