Adjust camber with ksport AWD coilovers?

Calling all owners of k-sport pro coilovers for the v36 awd sedan. I've been reading that camber is adjustable on these coilovers with the pillow ball mount but also read that the same coilovers have a fixed camber plate on both front and rear. I just want to know whether or not the camber is adjustable with the pillow ball or not, the instructions suggest yes

https://www.carid.com/images/ksport/...structions.pdf

and the description suggests no, and I'd take that as a definite "no" if it wasn't for the above model number specific user manual.

https://thmotorsports.com/ksport/ksp...i-1723591.aspx

I'm fine with purchasing camber plates/kits elsewhere I just would like to know, things can get trippy with the AWD and the v36 3.5L. Not to mention the fact that the coilovers are listed for v35 models but always claim to support 2007 and 2008 X's when it seems logical that the g37x suspension would be the same as ours.

I will call and find out if nobody knows but I figured what the hell else is a car forum for if not asking questions. Id rather know before spending nearly $1000.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to tell by looking at the upper mounts. I don't have k-sport but if the upper mounts don't allow you to move the pillow ball mount outward, then you need a camber kit.

That's a generic listing for the line of coilovers. The only way to adjust camber on the G suspension in front is through adjustable upper control arms. That camber plate feature is only available on certain types of suspensions, I think Honda is one.

Yeah, only with a macpherson strut or something similar will the adjustable top mounts make a difference to chamber

The G35 uses a wishbone ( A-Arm style) suspension and camber correction is done at the control arms. A camber plate is only for vehicles with a McPherson suspension setup.
