Hi ppl, I just brought a set of Tein super street for my 1997 240sx. My mechanic will be installing it for me this week. He told me to get a set of camber bolts for my car. He also told me that even if I changed that, its still going ceate uneven tire wear. Is there anything else I can do to take care of this problem??? If not, I am thinking about the H&R triple c or one from http://www.courtesyparts.com that adjust up to 1.75 degrees. Please let me know what I should do. Your time is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

ok hold up and dont panic...

1) its easy to install coilovers, you should be able to do it with your own tools... but whatever...2) your front coils should already come with camber plates if thats what the "camber bolts" (whatever that is)...3) rear camber is controlled by a "rear upper control arm." so Look for that if you want to correct your rear camber.4) adjusting camber also adjusts toe angle, after you install the coilovers and set them at a desired hieght, get an alignment.

Tire wear will be more of a problem from toe, not so much from camber. Just be sure to get your toe in check after lowering your car.

coilovers are extremely easy to install, 6 bolts in the front and the brake clip.

then 3 in the rear. and take the back shelf out. (just clips i think)
