Best camber kit?
 
If you disregard money, which camber kit is the best for our z?
I was looking at spl, spc, and kinetix
Is there any other options?

I am looking for rear only, why does front camber do much more expensive than rear?

If you look closely, the front camber kit is a much larger piece. It's basically an adjustable upper a-arm. The rear camber kit is more of a "tie-rod"

Most people go with SPC/Eibach

Any of those are going to serve you well for street driving. If you're tracking the car, I'd stick to SPL or SPC. Shoot me a PM with your zip code if you need pricing :)

I'd go with SPC but I wouldn't doubt the other brands either, i'd say its more of a brand preference

SPL all the way! These guys know Zs and racing; they've been involved in custom suspension parts for Nissans (specifically Zs) for a very long time.

Doesn't matter since the OP only wants to do rears anyway.

He will end up with the fronts too.

Most of us do:tup:

I didn't... I think most people that aren’t totally slammed should find that the rears are enough unless they have cash burning a hole through their pockets. At -1.7 camber up front with a 1" drop my front tires are wearing quite evenly.

I had -2.1 with Swift springs

Now in your case it would definitely be a good investment. :tup:

Here is my take on camber kits. I decided on Kinetix since I don't race but do drive aggressively and enjoy trying to tame dragons, snakes and other country roads. The quality of the Kinetix is as good as the SPC I fondled at the local speed shop. They didn't have any SPL but I'd already discounted them. Nice Bling. I believe the SPC boasts greater adjustments in the rear and definitely have caster adjustments up front. I'm wondering if the SPC toe bolts will help in the rear?

I dropped the car with H&R springs. My before and after numbers were a bit shocking. I didn't have any original alignment numbers prior to installing the springs.

Before 1st alignment (L/R)
Front --> Camber -1.9/-1.8 Caster 6.0/5.3 Toe .09/.08
Rear --> Camber -2.7/-2.4 Toe .28/.26

After 1st alignment
Front --> Camber -1.9/-1.7 Caster 5.9/5.2 Toe .09/.08
Rear --> Camber -2.7/-2.4 Toe .19/.17

Alignment after installing Kinetix front control arms and rear camber and traction links

Front --> Camber -1.5/-1.4 Caster 6.4/5.6 Toe .07/.08
Rear --> Camber -2.4/-2.4 Toe .09/.16

For Reference Factory Settings are

Front (Min/Max/Nom)
Camber -1.41/0.08/-0.67
Caster 4.42/5.91/5.17
Toe 0.09/0.15/0.11
Rear
Camber -2.16/-1.17/-1.67
Toe 0.09/0.21/0.15

Why would you buy front and rear arms only to leave the camber in the rear @-2.4 your front was @-1.9 camber sound like you spent all that money for nothing. :shakes head:
