Has anyone ever had this problem were the camber doesnt want to lower enough on my S13. The past few days i've been trying to fix the camber but the lowest i can get it is - 2.9. Its wierd when i'm adjusting the bolt it goes down to - 2.9 then the number starts climbing back up.

My rear Suspension is stock same goes with the upper control arms. I changed the Camber bolt because it was stripped, I'm still not getting any better resaults with the new one.

Fork out for the appropriate adjustable links m'man. The stock bolts do not have the kind of adjustment capability that the average enthusiast needs. They are good for about 1 1/2- 2" of lowering or, as you have come to find, 2* of correction.Look into adjustable ruca, and possibly toe links. Though I personally think the stock toe rod is adequate.

Like gumby74 said, after market links are definitely worth the money. Look into spl parts, they make high quality adjustable links. Although if you install a RUCA and and plan on using it adjust more than 2 degrees, it will toe out the rear wheels to the point where the stock toe arm isn't long enough to adjust it back. I think if you plan to get RUCA you should count on needing the toe arms as well.
