Had to get the this fixed ASAP - saw that altima camber kits come with just bolts and took the plunge and bought some decent camber arms for the Z and sure enough - fit like a glove. Did the toe bolts and camber arms and got an alignment and now Im all back in the GREEN.. woo-hoo!

Camber wear - this is ONLY 3 mos gents...they go QUICK!

Side by side - OEM vs SPC Adjustable (you can see you have ALOT of room to play with as far as adjustment goes)

Installed with some lockout washers since all the adjustment is done at the arm and not those dumb eccentric washers! :naughty:

Bought an expensive 20 dollar bit for my dremel...this is before

This is about 10 mins after - so worth EVERY PENNY :woot:

I see in your sig you have H&R's. Did the springs lower your car that much to throw off your camber to where you had to get adjustable arms? I'm definitely interested in this and would like to install them on my SER but I saw the tire wear and thought maybe you had coilovers and needed the camber arms to get a level camber.

^^^my sig is for my Z holmes...My girls Altima Sedan is dropped on an eibach Pro Kit.

Regardless - just being dropped on springs made the camber that much different... I would do the camber arms if I more than a 1 inch drop..

No problem tismo74 - figured it was better than cutting into your subframe...hoping others will see this and take advantage.

You got pics of the car with the pro kit on it.

I have Raceline and the front is too low!

^^^If you look closely - first pic is just marker (I used the template and marked it with a sharpie) and in the second pic - its actually widened after using a dremel so that you can have that "extra" adjustment you need..
