Sup everyone!

I took my car to the alignment shop to get it aligned and to increase the negative camber up front (the camber is neutral right now). They told me since my car is so low :) I cant increase my negative camber. My tie rods are maxed out and if I get negative camber i can pull my tie rod out?? They said I need spacers to lengthen my steering components and straighten out my tie rods before I can get more camber.

I took it to any other shop and they said that I needed to do the same thing.


My question is that I already got the Tein extended tie rods...what else do I need?? Tie rod ends, knuckle?? I need the camber up front to prevent too much rub up front and more grip in turns :)

Current setup on car:
93 240sx with stock KA
Stance coilovers with front camber plates
Tein Tie rods
XXR 002s 16x8 with Falkens 195 50 16
Tomei 2 way

Thanks! Pictures are attached!!

Those alignment shops are retarded. I had a hatch on stance gr+ pros maxed out with collars removed on 15x9's with 195/50's. Stock tie rods and rod ends. Camber plates were maxed out.

Damn beautiful car bro! Ya i wasnt sure if the shops were correct that is why I am asking the Zilvia. So its ok to adjust the negative camber and my tie rods should not get "pulled out" lol

What did you do about the rubbing up front? Just pulled and rolled the hell out of the fenders?

Thanks.

Your car doesn't need more camber from what I can tell.

If you're having wheel fitment issues you need to fix it by working the body, roll the fenders or whatever.

Camber is adjusted by the camber plate. Not the tie rod. Tie rods adjust toe.

If you want to increase your front traction look into getting extended lower control arms or get S14 LCAs with S13 balljoints pressed into them.

im running -13 degrees of camber up front with nothing but slotted coilovers. you shouldn't need anything to add camber.

Yup, fit looks great.

Awesome!!!! Thanks guys for the clarification. Ill just pull that fender some more and call it good!

I am going to also look into those extended lower control arms for more grip up front.
