question about camber

[nismoboy333]

i lowered my car with tein springs, and need a camber kit asap! stillen has one thats just for the rear(as far as i know) is that all i need? is there a better kit for the money? and why just the rear?

thanx

Well, slide-happy camber settings are like -1.5degrees to -2.0degrees in the front and like -1.0 to -1.5 in the back. Negative camber means the bottoms of the wheels are further out, and when the car leans on a turn, the wheels sit flat, getting better grip. Better grip in the front and less in the back means you'll slide a little more If you only can adjust back camber, you'd either be causing understeer (*gasp!*) or putting your back wheels at like 0degrees... so I'd definately say get a camber kit for all 4 wheels.

You can buy H&R camber bolts from here...

I used to have them until i bought coilovers.

And for the rear , you can buy rear upper controll arms.

One thing though , if you put TEIN springs on your 14 year old worn out shocks , then those shocks are gonna blow soon. So , your gonna have new springs , and front and rear camber adjustment , with old blown shocks.

i would search more but my pc is hella slow. why would stillen only offer rear?

We dont work at stillen , call them and ask.

Probably because they target rich people (hence the 350Z/G35 crowd) and assume that we 240 owners already have coilovers with adjustable camber plates...

[alex4]

Because we do! Muahahaha!

I still use the eccentric bolts up front to 0* out the camber plates on my coils.Remember that even though you have camber plates, one side of the car, more often than not, will be off in regards to the opposite side. Make sure to put that bad boy on an alignment rack regardless of which you choose.
