So i was wondering about how i go about adjusting my camber angle, i have cusco camber plates on my tokico blues.

really all i need to know is do i need to take the strut off to make the adjustment, or can i do it on my car?

u dont need to take the strut off,

lift up car to get tires free, push in or pull depending on camber wanted.

I need 2% negative 0n the Right rear. I don't see any way to make the adjustment. I am running a 1993 240sx on an oval track.

what does an oval track have to do w/ anything?

The rear's dont have adjustments unless u Get Ruca's.

If u are going to get ruca's i advise u to get rear toe-arms also

Yeah you need both because the camber change causes the rear toe setting to change as well. My rear tires are toed-in because of it

Right front can be 6 degrees, right rear 2 degrees, Puts more tire on the track in the turns. That is why the oval track comment. I was hoping it would explain why anyone would want that type camber change.

Ur not going to be able to adjust camber at all w/ our ruca's. Only by raisin the height of ur car will camber go +. W/ my coils i have been able to pull 6 degree's out of the fronts but thats just rediculous. Unless ur hardcore racer u dont need more then 3-4 degrees.

When i go to DD's i use 3.5 degrees' Front and rear.

I dont think so, but if there is it probably isn't for more then .5 - .8 degrees. I'm pretty sure there isn't an adjustment though.

Let me re-type wat i ment about a racer.

U shouldn't run more then 2 degree's on a Daily driver

I want to know if it's possible to align my front and rear or just the rear.
