Lowered the 90 q almost two years ago. Went with the Cali springs and Toki blue shocks. Running a 18"wheel and 245 /40 tires. Had car re- aligned after lowered. Just went for inspection and the inside 3/4 inch on front tires is down to the cords and rears are not much better after estimated 5000 miles. Due to negative camber. Is there any kind of camber kit available? Anyone else have this problem? Been a member for a while and I do not recall seeing this problem. Had the car re aligned and am putting the stock w/t combo on until I can afford new tires. Shop says rears still out about - 1.5 degrees and shimmed fronts to achieve -1 deg neg camber. Ideas? Input?

on my Q i have the stillen front and stillen rear camber kits, they are originally for a 1990-1996 300zx but it works perfectly. my honest opinion stay away from the front stillen camber kit, the bushing failed once and it looks like its at it again, try SPL parts. remember to order for a 1990-1996 300zx.

I just picked up a extra set of upper arm mounts that I am going to notch and reinforce so that I can have some camber adjustment. I already have given up enough of the cars comfort to perfromance so rigid arms are not for me. I also have a set of upper arms (I replaced mine with new oem units) that I may try stretching a bit and replacing the bushings with something a little more resilient but not crazy hard.

you should be able to get the camer correct with washers/shims unless something is really bent. Check your upper control arms and see if another washer will fit and still get threads on the nuts.

You can also purchases a "camber kit" for a 300zx which will come with longer bolts for the upper mounts as well as machined shims
