negative camber??

[dom83]

I just had hr springs installed on my 03 g35 sedan(1.2rear,1.3front) and my front camber is off1.9 degrees after an alignment...Is there any other options besides dropping crazy cash on new a-arms?

sometimes it could be good for handling .. lol ( for track racing only)

camber correction kit which is usually adjustable control arms...

hey thanks man....rear correction kits are around 150 for camber and toe. The front is whats killing me...i gotta pay for installation to. Im wondering if the alignment shop just sucks and couldnt dial it in well enough...just didnt think 1.3 would have that much of an effect....anyways, good places to buy em?

I dropped my sedan as well. In the rear it looks like toe in and camber are off. Do a single set of arms take care of both the toe in and camber?

[dom83]

hey...got an email w/your question. the upper control arms will adjust your camber back to positive(as long as you buy the right ones!) You will have to get an alignment to fix the toe. All i could find is stillen(850$!!) I got taken for some cusco 450$, the website had a misleading add. I found out after i had them installed when i was still-1.8 in the front(track racing a-arms). what a nightmare, I used H&R 1.2,1.3 lowering springs what about you? Thinking about reducing the drop with some less aggresive springs, what did you use and what are you off? feel free to email me adamld83@yahoo.......

I have stock 04 350Z springs and shocks. I didn't measure it before and after but I think it dropped a little over and inch (just judging from how the jack fits now... barely get it under the car!). I don't know how far I am off for camber. I can just tell by looking at the back end. I ordered some adjustable arms for the rear and I was going to have my shop align and adjust at the same time. The front doesn't look like it has any but I'm sure it has some. I will know for sure when I get the alignment done. If the front camber isn't bad, I might just leave it. I figure it can't hurt the tires that much (or at least as much as a toe in or out would). I'm guessing I will only have the car for about 50,000 more miles (tires are good now, one set after these should easily cover that long). If tires wear 10% to 20% faster, I still should be ok with only getting one more set, so it doesn't pay to change the arms. My thinking anyways...

I used Tein S Tech springs and I was told that my camber is at a negative 2 but it doesn't seem to matter too much considering that I never go to the track...I do have a lead foot but the tires are wearing out ok...it's not as drastic as you might think it would be....and my car is a daily driver which gets driven a lot...so IMO unless your going to be ripping up your tires at the track it shouldn't be too bad

I finally got an alignment with the adjustable camber arms I put on. I have 1.0 degrees negative in the front and 1.2 in the rear with zero toe. It isn't really noticeable. I did the math and it works out to 0.2" off from a vertical line at the top or bottom of the tire (at 1 degree of camber).
