Negative Camber Question (pics)

[300sx]

I was wondering if there is anything i can do to fix this besides raising it. I have Stance basic coilovers on my car and it is set to the max. Car is not really slammed. Even though I got 30k+ miles out of the front two tires I still want to reduce the inside tire wear.

Did i incorrectly install the coilovers? did i have to adjust the camber before bolting them on?

I wouldn't believe if you could get any more posi camber from those.

If you really want more posi camber, get yourself some s13 lower control arms.

The top hole on the bottom mounting bracket is elliptical. If you want less negative camber, make sure that you also pull the strut toward you when you tighten the bolt on that hole, so the bolt slides to the back end of the slotted hole. It won't make a huge difference, but it's still there for your adjustment.

Anyhow, have you gotten an alignment? Even if you're slammed, you should be able to get proper stock spec front camber with the range that's provided on those coilovers.

yeah you can but your not gonna like it

fweld up your shock tower. move the shock outward...like literally remount it

Thanks for the replies..

I've had the coilovers for i think 2 years and gotten the car aligned 3-4 times. i went to different shops and each time they can only get it close to stock specs like a +/- 1 off the stock spec

i just got new tires for the front so we'll see how many miles i can get out of them...hopefully 20k+

yokota..i've got an s14. maybe i'll invest in some LCA

Heres a pic

30,000 miles on tires and you want more..............WTF!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be happy with 10,000 miles on a set of tires on any of my cars...

If you are only off by that little, the cheapest route for you to take is to buy a pair of camber adjustment bolts.They generally run between $20 and $30 from pretty much any online retailer and may even be ordered through your local parts store. Use one bolt on each side replacing the stock upper bolt. This should give you an additional 1.5 to 2 full degrees of adjustment.

you can mess with the factory eccenctric bolts in the rear. Normally a little negative camber in the front is good, more steering response. Id rather be able to hit a corner without understeering then squeeze a few extra thousand miles lol.
