s14 Negative Camber!

[MIKEL240]

I lowered my car using Drop Zone 1.8" springs and now I have noticable tire balding (negative camber). I need to know what all of you 240sx owners out there are doing to solve this problem OR what products are all of you USING to correct this negative camber? Any suggestion is welcomed!

Why correct it? It is fine. You can get a camber kit but you arent driving a Honda. I say watch your tires more carefully and rotate them accordingly. I love my negative camber

Get an alignment. Camber by itself doesn't wear tires as fast as camber with an out of spec toe setting. Is your excess tire wear in the front or rear tires?

You can also try attending track events. They tend to put a little more wear to the outside edges of the tires.

Yeah I had the same after lowering, too much rear camber. The factory adjustment is insufficient, so an alignment will only take it to around -2 degrees if you want less than this You'll need a whiteline camber kit ( offset bushing) or new upper arms JIC make these and theyre awesome... but then I might be biased as thats what i got

After i've installed the KYB shocks with RSR spring I noticed some height diff. The rear is like -2.8...geeezzz. I want it to be -0.5 in the rear and -1.0 in the front..I can only get the front. I believe that most 240SX rear camber is around -2.7 or so....grip driving. If you want to change it you would have to get some adjustable upper arms. If you live in ATL go to this shop called Grand Turismo East....it's awesome.

Save up and get adjustable rear upper control arms. I have had Battle Version ones for over a year, and they are great. It's not really cheap, but it's an excellent upgrade anyway. I have coilovers and like to play with ride height, so adjustable arms are great for that, stiffening the rear end, and dialing in perfect camber. Once I have my subframe collars installed, it's gonna be drift-hard (or easy) back there. I hope the World Sports coilovers hold up to it.
