Camber Adjustment

[GTRPowa]

I got some pretty decent wear on the inside of my tyres, I was going to get adjustable camber kits to sort some of that out. However I've seen a lower, and upper adjustable bar for the rear end.

I'll assume it's the "Upper" set for the fronts, but what do you guys normally use to adjust the rear? Upper or lower?

Upper.

Also keep in mind that negative camber is not a bad thing, actually quite good for handling, just not too much of it for a car that spends most of it's time on the street. Toe in can counter some of the effects of negative camber and any good wheel aligner will know that.

I suggest, get yourself all the adjustable arms you can afford front and back and then find a competent wheel aligner and tell them what you want to come out of it with.

They'll then suggest what they think will work best for your usage of the vehicle and you'll settle on something in the middle. Tyre wear will soon tell you if you got it right or not.

Need any other help regarding wheel alignment specs etc. PM me.

are there camber kits that can remove up to 1.5 possibly 2 degrees of camber? ideally ive been recommended to run a +0.5 but since skylines on average are at a -1.5, are there camber kits that can remove that much? my cars mostly drag orientated so im tryna counter the large negative camber that occurs on hard launches off the line.

You should be able to get much less than -1.5deg camber but I don't know about +0.5deg. That's crazy anyway, if you run that sort of camber on the front you might go good on the drag strip but it will be a pig to drive on the street. No problem if it's track only.

I believe he is probably just talking about +0.5 on the rear, so that when it squats hard it gets as close to 0 as possible.

I also want to achieve the same goal - anyone know how?

I had the white line offset upper bush pins fitted to the rear upper arms and toe arms and with stock suspension I could get positive camber by simply adjusting the stock adjustment bolt and whiteline setups.,

The lower you make your car the more negative it will be due to the unequal suspension travel arks, ie shorter upper arms and longer lower arm.

You can get some offset bushes as said above, or another way to do it (yet more expensive) is the adjustable camber arms. Ive just fitted some KTS ones in my car and theyre perfect. KAZAMA also make them. Google or EBAY it and you'll know what Im on about
