Please help !camber adjustments..

Ok, I got Tein basics installed today and try to ge an alignment done. The camber came out to :


rear pass -2.4 deq

rear driver -1.9

front pass -1.7

front driver -1.5

Are these numbers way off? And if I need camber arms, what are the brands you guys would recommend?

TIA!!

No need for the numbers... If you've lowered you car anything more than .25" and are running aftermarket wheels (plus 1 or plus 2) over what your car came with - your alignment is OFF!

The rear is usually the most trouble causing, so I recomend going with an SPC camber correction kit which will include the camber rod and toe bolt. It will fix most any alignment issues, or come to at least 90% of the OEM specs, which is better than nothing. The fronts, depending on the tires you're running, size of the rim width and so fourth, you may be able to get away with, but if its totally out of wack, you're going to need the upper arms, which are pricey! The SPC rear kit will set ya back around $220 while the front arms will hit you hard at around $650+...

Hope this helps...

Thanks ducatiguy! I've ordered the spc rear camber kit, as for the front is Cusco A-arms suitable? They're the lowest price for front adjustment I can find.

Yes, for $400 you can dial out at least .5 degree's of front camber and help fight off inner tire wear. Their is a thread on 350Z-tech about how to get more then .5 degree's out of the Cusco arm's if you need more adjustment.

Also, work to the wise. When you take your car back. Insist that they adjust the front and rear toe and rear camber evenly side to side. Don't let them give the car back to you with those number uneven side to side.

I like to keep camber as even as possible left to right within 0.2 degrees.
Toe, i like it perfectly the same left/right unless my car has some bias on
thrust angle.

before you take the car back, make sure you corner balance it to the best of
you ability so your car is sitting flat left to right. Then take it back to the
alignment shop. chances are, your springs have not yet settled (wont take as
long as progressives to settle) and your car could be on a slight tilt left/right.
