s13 front camber problem!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My s13 is on sportline springs which gave it some negative camber and I know ruca is to adjust the rear but what can I use to adjust front camber?? (besides upper camber plates)

um....
shitty eccentric botsl that will slip and change camber is the other option

so pretty mch just leaves camber plates.

drop springs by themselves will not create enough negative camber to warrant buying camber plates. the car is probably at like -1.5 or somthing unless you have bent control arms.

Leave the camber alone and get your toe set to zero to negate the tire wear

get the camber plates. Your camber will be different on the left side versus the right which will make the car handle inconsistently. I am curently using eccentric bolts replacing only the upper strut bolts. You can replace both bolts with eccentrics and get more adjustment but the stock lower bolt will hold the setting much better. fortunatly i work as a technician for chrysler so i am able to align my car often. I change my alignment specs about once a month to see how it affects the way the car handles and i dont experience ANY change in front camber using these bolts from month to month.
Midas stocks eccentric bolts that will fit your car and can install them for one our and align it for you at the same time. Thats your best bet.
