Hey guys, I've been riding with negative camber for awhile now and I think its time to invest in a camber kit.

I'm dropped on D2 coilovers, any suggestion on a certain camber kit for our car? and is eibach the only brand that offers it for our car?

don't get a kit, get new camber arms; the part number for the camber arms is exactly the same as that for the 350z. sure you pay a little bit more, but you don't have to drill or dremel or any of that stuff.

Does the eibach camber kit allow you to adjust the front camber a lot? I wanna try to go a bit more negative

I think only our rears are the same as a 350z/g35. Idk about the front arms. I think they're completely different.

why do you recommend getting camber arms instead?

also I've been quite busy, are they any local shops that we can purchase a kit and have them installed for us?

I've heard that firestone does can do this, can anyone confirm?

also I'm still curious of the different type of camber kits that are created for our vehicle

He's probably saying that because the arms offer a lot more adjustment than the kit. Idk how much the kit costs but the arms you can get for $170 and probably more value for your money in the long run.

AlexM is that was you did? or going to install?

Where can I purchase these camber arms, do you guys happen to have any links?

it just feels a bit odd to buy a suspension part that is used for another vehicle, even if it happens to still be from the same manufacturer Nissan.

Can anyone else dropped or low add to this?

My main goal is just going to a local shop and having them fix my negative camber, and getting an alignment right after. I don't want to purchase anything online and wait for it to be shipped and then install them, I rather have it done quicker without ordering anything.

this. the parts from the front aren't gonna fit, but if i'm not mistaken the camber kit (eibach bolts) are designed specifically for the rear and wouldn't help you up front at all. i'm saying save yourself some work, spend a bit extra, and get the camber arms. plus if you ever need to go back to stock, you have all the OEM pieces without having to had drilled anywhere. go on ebay and search for the SPC performance adjustable camber arms, something along those lines.

and i'm not too sure why you think it's odd, the part number is exactly the same. if you look at the suspension setup on the rear of the altima, it's almost identical to that of the 350z. nissan mashed the 350z suspension onto the back of the a/c because it was a newly redesigned rear end from the 4door, so it makes sense for them to use a setup from a pre-existing 2door instead of creating something brand new just for the altima coupe.

Im confused...I been researching for a while....Camber Arms are the ones you get from SPC and you dont need to dremel? I seen a write up where you have to dremel....Which Camber Arms require dremel and which dont....Camber Kits are just bolts? And Camber Arms are the SPC? I dont see how camber arms dont need the dremel....
