Camber/Toe questions

Alright, i know that 187479337 people have asked this before...But i have not seen clear answers posted. And most people are looking to ADD camber when they ask.

How much positive camber can you get out of stock camber arms?

Right now my car is only on lowering springs with a ~2 inch drop. The camber is around -1.5 area...But i would like to take .5 to .75* out of it. Are the stock arms going to allow this?

Same with the toe. And does decreasing camber add toe out or toe in??

Simple search would have yielded the answer you need. You can't adjust camber unless you have adjustable arms. If you don't want so much negative camber you can either raise your car back up or buy adjustable control arms.

A simple search would have shown you that is not true.
There are camber and toe adjustment in stock arms. According to 240kid from 240sxforums and according to matej on here i believe. (Those are both threads i found in my searching :whip:)

Nice try though!

Yes, you can adjust the stock arms a little bit. But not the amount of difference you are looking for. Take your car for an alignment and see how much adjustment they can get out of the stock arms, chances are they won't even touch the arms since there's no factory adjustment instructions for them.

Btw, read this and study it thoroughly. http://zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/115916-suspension-faq.html

Thank you killer2001.

But i still want an opinion from someone else who has played with the arms.
Im not looking for huge adjustment...I just want to know how much positive camber i could get out of them. ( No matter how small the amount is)

When rotating the bolt from full negative to full positive on the stock ruca, it only moves like a 1/4 in at MOST, maybe not even that much.

i know people slot the stock arms (mostly camber arms) to get a few more play area of adjustment... search up on that and see if you like the idea...
