Mine's OEM (actually came off Candlestick Park's car) but you can buy the Ionic replica lip in their flexible fiberglass. It is almost an exact replica.

Here's the thread.

nice, its tough to find a coupe lip/splitter for the sport bumper that i have, i gave up. the ones i did find were crazy expensive or ugly, imo. i dont like gawdy, just something to lower the front end a little

Tires are exactly where I want them from a fit perspective and I should be somewhere around -1.4 on the fronts ATM.

Thanks again to MikeGrote for revealing this info.

So, finally getting to installing my new spl arms tonight and just thinking ahead. i have a cutting wheel, will that work ok to get rid of those bumps on the spindle? or will i need a grinding wheel? they arent that big so i am guessing using a cutting wheel should work.

Read first post but not the rest, too lazy but here's some options. I saw on my350z in the market place some Evo camber arms, or whatever they're called. They give a ton of negative camber from what I've read. Or another option is to get Cusco A arms, seen a couple for sale I think here or on my350. From there you can modify the A arm by flipping the plate and grinding some of it off like I did. While being lowered and doing that mod I was at -5.5 camber up front. I have pics of the mod too if you're interested.

Vivek you so crazy.............

This thread is about getting rid of negative camber not adding to it lol.

Mike I'm very happy with the final adjustment I did to my arms. Front camber is -.6*/-.7* and toe is in spec as well. Rolling dirty+factory alignment specs=win in my book.



Edit: A cutting wheel will work just fine for the bumps.

Me not Vivek, me Levon lol. And yeah when I saw this thread pop up in my user cp i realized that. Oops? Lol. I'm going to assume with the Cusco the same could be done as what I mentioned but in opposite? I can't remember, wish I had my arms still so I can take a look and verify. But either way, I'm going to take a wild guess and say there would be some fabrication taking place.

OP, how much camber are you trying to achieve and what do you have right now?

i was hoping to be around -0.5* on the front for both sides, but the best i have gotten is -1.3* drivers side and -1.2* passenger. this is with all spacers in the spl arms and the heims unscrewed out as far as i can without the arm hitting the frame in the wheel well.
