camber arms help
 
ok so ive decided to just remove that camber in the rear from lowering the car.... i was gonna install the 20mm h&r spacers to push out the tire and make it flush.... my question is i can install camber arms to remove that camber and make it flush right?

i leaning towards the ichiba camber arms... are they any good? only reason why i like em is cuz they are red :bowrofl:

Do your camber adjustment before u do the spacers so you know how much room you got to push out the wheels. :)

i dont think the spacers will fit no more.... so im not gonna install them anymore.... :(

are ichibas camber kits any good?

SPC is better. That's what I have. I want running a 25mm spacer and sitting perfectly flush with 0 camber.

I thought I wouldn't need them but you really do. When you adjust the camber arm it also messes with the toe alot. You'll need both.

simota1 04-15-2011 07:52 AM

ok quick question what is the difference with

SPC and SPL? there is like a 100 bucks difference on the brands? also what the heck is a toe links? do i need those too to fix my camber in my car?

sorry im completely a noob to this....

also is the brand kenitix any good? they have a kit at z1 performance for camber arms and traction arms for a great price not to mention they use energy suspension bushings :tup:

simota1 04-15-2011 08:00 AM

sorry lol i have to throw this out but there is a guy on my local forum selling camber arms for a 350z and it comes with its traction bars.... would this fit the 370z?

sig11 04-15-2011 09:18 AM

From what I've been reading you'll be fine with any of them if you're just street driving. You'll probably be ok with just camber arms as well.

If you're dropped more than an inch and a half you'll need the toe bolts too

abgyak 04-15-2011 09:52 AM

You might need fronts...because if there isn't enough induced camber from lowering it you will rub like crazy

Mine was slammed too and perfectly in spec with toe, but camber was really bad, once i got those camber arms and started turning them the toe was pushed in dramatically. :eek: looked pigeon toed

do they ship worldwide also?

fuct 04-15-2011 03:10 PM

im sticking with SPL, but to each his own.

Flushnismo 04-15-2011 04:49 PM

Okay here's my two cents.. It's not going to matter what brand you get, they will all accomplish the same thing. You'll probably adjust it one time then never touch or see the part again. :p

i agree with flush lol... im gonna agjust it once and probably never gonna mess with it again

shoopajae10 04-15-2011 09:31 PM

Flushnimso, what are your specs for front/rear camber/toe/caster?

I just installed spc rear cambers too but without the toe bolt because i didn't have the equipment to extend the hole with a grinder. if i have too much negative camber on the rear right now, do i need to install the toe bolts to get it closer to -1/0 camber?

I was thinking the toe bolts would not matter and have nothing to do with the camber since it adjusts the toes only. Right now im maxxed out on the rear with kw v3s with 25mm spacers too. my toe is in spec with factory toe bolts.

Toe bolts adjust toe only, but the camber arms move both... You should be able to get the camber pretty close to -1, but toe bolts wont affect the camber

I don't know my caster, but camber is -1.4 and toe is .5

Even though I have the SPC kit and they have always held up great. I've always wondered about them slipping under hard cornering. But you would probably have to be pushing it pretty hard. They just have to be made sure there torqued correctly.

I would have choosen SPL if they didn't wait years to release a front camber kit.

That is whats stuck in my head every time i make a hard turn too.

Once SPL comes out with the front adjustable arms I will switch.

I personally like the SPC rear camber adjustment better than SPLs though.

Looks like im going to have to install the toe bolts, COBB aligned it for me today but couldnt get the rears closer to -2!! the best they could do was -3 or there would of been crazy toe causing more tire wear.

Flushnismo 04-17-2011 12:44 AM

See...you NEED toe bolts to get the camber straight :tup:

FYI, SPC part number 72260 includes the toe bolt. It is impossible to buy just the camber arm alone. You use the adjustable arm and you reuse the stock adjuster for camber and you use the supplied adjuster for toe.

SPC part number 72265 is just two of the bolts, which is why you don't get as much range out of the camber adjustment.

My car is lowered an inch and both the rear camber and toe are way out of whack.

shoopajae10 04-21-2011 02:02 PM

I do not fancy the SPC rear toe bolts because i would need to enlongate the hole on the subframe which once its done, you can never go back.

Are there any other products out there that provides the whole adjustable Toe Arm Link? I know SPL has a toe arm link available but it is designed for "true" type coilovers and replaces the bucket in which the springs go in. I have KW V3s which is OEM type so this SPL Toe arm link would be of no use.

Any help??

I had the same problem, They don't make an adjustable link for oem type coilovers. So if you want toe adjustment you're going to have to drill...

Hey Flushnismo,

Is that website that you linked for the SPC camber kit legit? Seems like a hell of a price for the camber kit compared to what everyone else is selling it for.

I don't see what the big deal is with this? All you end up with is more adjustment range out of the eccentric adjusters. The eccentric bolts they provide you with are worth about $10. Even if you leave them on the car, it isn't like you're out anything. It's a totally seamless modification.

You may be right, I will take the bolts to Cobb to get another alignment done (had recently readjusted the rear coilovers) and see what they think. I might even have them install it while I'm at it.
