camber kits

[Bl4cK32]

could someone please tell me the what the difference is between the camber adjusters shown here, and the camber kit you can buy?

The ones in the photo are for the front of a r32 gtst which cost $550 (just for the fronts), where as I can get camber kits for the front, and back for $299 each from car toys here in Adelaide

Thanks:whackit:

The ones from Car Toys will just be bushes, wheras the JMS ones replace the whole arm. Bushers are all that is really required. I can get the bushes for trade price so let me know if your interested. What needs fixing the front or rear camber?

Hi Clint, i have a camber kit (bushes) but havent put them in yet. Its for the rear, i have my car lowered about 2 inches, maybe a touch more. Will these bushes still be enough to correct the rear camber?? Cheers dude

am i correct?

i dunno! i just got a rear camber kit from autobarn! Im not yet back in adelaide so i cant count the number of bushes....

I had adjustable bushes put in my Commodore but I never bothered adjusting them. Oh well, it made the car easier to sell

If you just want to preserve tyres, then I would go the cheaper bushes. $1150 for the whole arm just to save on tyres seems very counter-productive. You would probably have to keep the car for around 5 years or more before you broke even, assuming you never got any unrepairable punctures.

I just got an unrepairable pucture - ran over a F*kn piece of steel on way to work.

Guys I bought the JMS units as they use bearings rather than bushes and the camber could be adjusted via the threaded section to a precise degree. This should have been a superior option. I won’t go into details, but lets just say that Ill certainly be changing the bushes in the standard control arm and reverting back to this instead. I understand that www.uniqueautosports.com have released a bearing based upper control arm for the front of the R32/Z32. Im using their rose jointed upper control arm for the rear of the GTR and this has worked faultlessly.

ADM the JMS ones have bearing in them, im guessing these lasted a few minutes of hard driving before you had problems.

Later in the year i am going to make some myself using bushes and a adjustable rod in the middle, this would be the best way to do it. Im also going to make some adjustable upper control arms for the rear using a rose joint like the UAS ones.

I have the whiteline camber bushes in the front and cusco adj camber arm at the back. Both work very well, the only problem is the front bushes are a real bastard to adjust as they are hard to get at. Your wheel alignment guy will definately be swearing by the end of it.

I went the bushes at the front, as the fronts are pretty good and don't really require much adjustment, whereas the back required quite a bit of adjustment. If I was to get the bushes at the back I would definately get both bushes each side for maximum adjustment.

Clint32, the bearings seem to be OK, there are other design flaws that are difficult to live with. I have the rose jointed JMS castor rod (made by the same guy) and these work very well.
