rawbhp Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Having spent a long time searching I have finally decided to go for Tein springs, and therefore just a small drop in height. What I can't work out from the numerous posts is how you know whether you need a rear camber adjustment kit or not. Some people have needed it, others have not, even with a 30mm drop. Does this only come to light when you go to have the suspension aligned? Also, for coilovers, do you still need the same adjustment kit? Thanks Quote
Chris`I Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 As all the cars are differnt ever so slightly, anything more than a 20-30mm drop may require the kit. What this depends on is (a) the car and ( how bothered you are to run stock camber. With the kit, the car may have enough adjustment to get it back to stock, it may not. If it doesnt and you are not bothered about running more than OEM camber (which is quite a lot of people) then you should fit the kit to keep it in spec, but you dont have to. If you want to retain stock camber/toe and the car cant be adjusted back to stock you must fit the kit to solve it. It depends on if you are bothered about potentially running more camber than stock or not really. Quote
IanS16 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 and dont forget more camber = uneven tire wear Quote
dcash5 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 You mean .... More camber = more chicks and higher on the cool status! Quote
dcash5 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 On a serious note, only way to tell is go and get your car realligned. You should do this anyway after any modification to the sus. If the Garage can't get the camber sorted on the OEM adjustment then yes you need camber arms. General rule of thumb .. less than an inch usually can be sorted on OEM stuff Edited: Cos I can't type!

General rule of thumb .. less than an inch usually can be sorted on OEM stuff I assume you mean cant (typo). I'll ask the missus if more camber gets the chicks, I think she might disagree Quote
dcash5 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Ok Chris .. Would your mrs prefere .... or Quote
rawbhp Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks for the fast replies guys. So I think I'll take the risk given that the drop will be minimal, and wait to see if I need the extra adjustment. Quote
rawbhp Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Nice! What's the splitter in the second pic. I like... Quote

shire350Z Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 You might be able to rectify it with just the bolt kits instead off the more expensive arms! Thats what im going to try first!as iv had uneven tire wear and only dropped 15mm Quote

Thats what im going to try first!as iv had uneven tire wear and only dropped 15mm Interesting. So when you had your suspension aligned after fitting the springs could the garage get it within OEM tolerances? I'm assuming not if you have uneven tyre wear. Any links to the bolt kits? Quote
Gaz Walker Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Any links to the bolt kits? The Eibach kit is decent: http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... ct_ID=9433 Quote
Chris`I Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Ok Chris .. Would your mrs prefere .... ..... Hang on I'll ask Amanda says she doesnt like the pimped out one But she does like the titanium finished Rays Quote
Adriank Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I have got a set of the Eibach 'wobbly camber bolts' for sale, as i didnt use them when i fitted the arms... SPC Rear toe bolts kit - £25 posted They allow more adjustment than the OEM bolts as far as i know. These are just the bolts, as posted on Envy's link above. Quote
rawbhp Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Are they these? http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=5967 Or just these? http://www.directtuning.com/store/pc-61 ... sedan.aspx http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... rentCat=39 Quote
