Re: Would I need to worry about camber issues?

To be honest, I really doubt you will need camber kits for a drop like that. The drop is a maximum of 0.6 inches which is basically not alot and thats all in the front. The rear have an even lesser degree of drop at 0.3 inches. My opinion? No need for a camber kit....but I'll ask Jason over there at Performance Nissan to be sure...

I had camber issues with no suspension change but I put on 19s (8.5 & 9.5). I got my rear back to specs but the factory adjustment is maxed out now. There is no factory front camber adjustment so if it's out you'll need a kit.

Given the popularity of the 19" upgrade, how many people have had camber issues ? I would think everyone unless it had never been mentioned to them by the installer or they never inquired themselves ?! I ask because my 19's are due in today or tomorrow ! Who did your install trent ?

I'd appreciate anyone's feedback on this as well, as I've just installed my Eibach Pro Kit and will have my 19" rims on very soon.

Re: Would I need to worry about camber issues?

I have 20's and I need to have my rear cambers adjusted. They bow out just a bit. Front doesn't seem bad. After putting them on, an alignment would be worthwhile if you want to save a couple thousand miles on the tires. I am going to need to get mine in soon and tweak it out a bit!

Re: Would I need to worry about camber issues?

From what I've found out we're going to have to adjust the camber even with just the tire upgrade. So springs and tires will surely require the adjustment but I'd be sure to ask your manager/tech to check/adjust your camber and not assume they are going to do it as part of the standard install. Tires are tooooo much to have to replace early because some bonehead half assed the job. I'm checking with some other shops to see if they recommend anything different.

Re: Would I need to worry about camber issues?

I just got back from tweaking the rear cambers out to the max on my 20's. I also tried to compensate the "bow" with tweaking the toe in the rear too. I am a little pleased, but there is still more room for an adjustment. The inner part of the tires still have more contact with the ground than the outside does. About 1" - 1 1/2". What is everyone doing to try to get these back in a bit? Only harmful thing it is doing is going to wear out $1,400.00 dollar tires quicker than I would like. =/ What has everyone else done with 20's? Probably some of them do not even pay attention to this I assume? For the most part it is doing this as a result of the width of the rear. Right now it is set at (-1.3), camber.
