Hey, so I bought a set of used coilovers that doesn't come with instructions. I am not sure how to change the front camber using the upper pillow mounts. It is an Apexi N1.

Do I simply jack the car, loosen the 4 screws inside the mount, and push the wheel to the desired camber degree and retighten the 4 screws?

Also, if I have alignment adjustability with the upper pillow mounts, what do I set my stock alignment adjustability to?

1. you dont have a stock camber adjustment of the car, just a front toe adjustment..2. yeah, you take the screws out and adjust it by sliding it around(the upper mounting peice)

okay, thanks. That is what i need to know.

So what you are saying is that the 240sx front suspension doesn't have any adjustment for camber? So without alignment tools, the front suspension cannot be adjusted other than the toe?

What about the rear? What kind of adjustment do I have for the rear suspension?

Search. There are aftermarket rear upper arms and toe rods for that.

I am wondering what kind of adjustments the stock rear suspension can do, not aftermarket arms and rods.
