I want to drop my car so its right above the wheels..

so I decided id buy the:

(1) Tein Basic Coilovers
(2) SPC front and rear cambers

then I started to hear a lot of people were having problems with the spcs..

so now im looking at the:

(1) Tein Basic Coilovers
(2) 350Evo front cambers
(3) No clue on rear cambers..
(4) No clue on sway bars..

Furthermore, arnt A-arms the same as front cambers?
Im looking at this guy who has cusco adjustable A-arms with SPC camber arms and toe bolts.. isnt that the same thing in regaurds to the spc camber arms?

Im honestly lost now so Id really appreciate some help

thanks in advance guys

There are no problems with the rear spc camber kit. For the front, a-arms are the same thing as front cambers. Another kit to consider is the SPL camber arms or wait for the SPC to be fixed.

just curious but...
how low can you go before you need to have camber kits installed? Can we not adjust the stock camber enough to accomidate a small drop? Or is there too much stress on the stock components at even slight drops?

depends how much of a drop you mean by small.

if its an inch or less of a drp your fine, you only need alignment.

after that, youll need cambers and alignment

There is no adjustment for front camber with the OEM a-arms, so you need to get adjustable a-arms. IMO, any drop should have adjustable a-arms to be proper so you can get the alignment where it should be, not just within specs. Nissan gives wide specs for camber so they don't have to make the parts fit together the same on each car.

The rear has a little camber adjustment for a small drop - say on H-Techs - but anything more than that and you need rear camber arms. You may also need toe bolts if your drop is enough.

The 350Evo a arms are expensive because they are machined aluminum and not steel like about everyone else. From what I understand, there is nothing else not to like about them, except they can be in short supply. If it's the weight you want to save, you won't notice it. Other good options are SPC, SPL, and Cusco.

No one has to have camber arms, especially if your parants own a tire factory, but you will be replacing tires more often.
