Stillen's Rear Camber Adjusters

Okay my camber on my car is beginning to bug me. Does anyone have or know about Stillen's Camber Adjusters? Can you adjust the camber while it is on? Or do you have to take them out make the proper adjustments and put them back on?

Re: Stillen's Rear Camber Adjusters

You're not lying Wreck. I got 20's and the car is not even lowered yet and the rear camber is bothering the heck out of me. I feel like I'm just throwing money away because of the tires. Have you seen any uneven wear yet Wreck?

Re: Stillen's Rear Camber Adjusters

I heard someone on the 350Z forum had his stock rear arm bent a certain way so that it will be in spec. The arm is already bent and the alignment shop just either straighten or bent it out a bit more to put it into perfect camber settings for the rear.

- Don't argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.=P-

I have about 4000K on my tires I think. The tires still looks new. Tire wear is my number one concern. Second, is I think if the camber was correct it would fill in gap and make my rims look wider.

That would be definately the economical way out to fixing the camber. I guess that is something to think about.

Re: Stillen's Rear Camber Adjusters

I wouldn't bend anything. That may save you money now but will probably hurt you in the long run. What if you want to raise it back up and sell it later? Then that would just be more money trying to bend it back.

No need to spend that amount of cash. On the 350z site, a guy makes a set for about $200. I got them and they are nice.

The site is www.MY350z.com

The member's name is Lsdunique.

Run a search narrowed in their wheels/tire/suspension section
search for developing camber

That should bring up his thread. He is basically doing this out of his garage, so some of his delivery times haven't been spectacular. But the product he delivers makes the other products take a back seat. I'd buy his camber kits way before any other companies.

Re: Stillen's Rear Camber Adjusters

would you need the traction/toe rod as well? Or just the camber?

Re: Stillen's Rear Camber Adjusters

From what I've read, people just get the camber.

Re: Stillen's Rear Camber Adjusters

I have the same camber problem, mine is way out of whack now from just an install on the Eibach pro's. The alignment shop told me I need a front kit and back kit. Anyone know where a front kit can be found?

Re: Stillen's Rear Camber Adjusters

Would running 19s cause such problem? From my knowledge, camber kits are pricy like hell. I used to have such problem with my lowered benz and I spend couple hundred on those camber kits and they still didn't do the job (well corrected a bit at least). But still I couldn't get recon because of the off alignment. I might get 19s and not lowered if that is ok. If not, I'd just stick with the stock spec. Just my .03 cents.
