Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today II

Im interested in those that switched to spacers from stock, how was your camber after. I know with just swifts, some can get away within oem camber, but with spacers, will that push the need for camber arms?

After a period of time the spring will settle thus lower tbe height thus more -ve camber.
Regarding the spacers, imagine the rotor/hub are not facing out at 0 degree, about 1.5-2.0 degree facing upward. When extending the trackwidth with spacers, the wheel is not just extending outward horizontally but upward along the axis of the camber, I hope you understanding what I am talking.
When this happen, I am wondering is there any affect on the camber.

I hope some guru in here can chip in.

I'm thinking of this set up for starters:

15 MM f, 15 r
Swift springs
SPL camber arms in rear (front hopefully i can get in spec)

Yah, I wouldn't sweat that too much. Unless you're totally postwhoring, it will take a millennium to make it to 14k posts. :postwhore:

Hold on now, you've left a question unanswered! You're not doing your diplomatic duty! :rofl2:

What's the effect on camber from a 15/20 spacer AND NOTHING ELSE?

Ha. I did spacers first (by themselves) and was in-spec in the rear.

You'll wish you got 20mm for the rear, trust me.

Yeah I'll see when I order them. I'm still not completely decided. Mr. Kenchan did mention that 20's on stock tires make the rear look funny.

slowly but surely...
:tup:

Mr. Onzedge, and anybody else can chime in, when you put spacers on did it make the brake calipers look weird because they become more sunk in?

Anybody have a side shot handy.

In my opinion, 15 is just right.
