Do they make any noise?

 

No noise and they seem to have made the car run much smoother IMO.

 

I feel like a Noob for asking -- but what does a camber gauge look like?

 

like a triangle

My write up is in the race related section and is geared more towards track settings rather than camber correction like this thread. Take a look. I've got nothing but great things to say about the 350evo's..

 

I had these parts installed this past weekend; the alignment was done today. The alignment tech set the front camber to -.3 degrees and the rear to -1.5 degrees. I wanted -1.0 for the rear but the mechanic who installed the camber kit swapped out the camber bolts instead of the toe bolts. So the alignment tech didn't have the needed range to get enough toe-in to work with -1.0 degrees. I'm having this problem addressed later this week.
My impression of the handling is the front-end feels like it bites into the pavement much better when going through turns. And when the tires run out of grip, they just begin to slip without much drama. To me it feels like more of the tire contact patch is in touch with the road. The ride, too, is more forgiving; the tires just seem to soak up more of the ripples in the road, although they do seem noisier.

My hope is that the increased positive camber will cure the ‘feathering’ problem. I found that after replacing the stock Bridgestone’s with Yokohama’s, the feathering became apparent after 2500 miles or so. I’ll keep the board posted on whether or not the EVO arms solve the problem. One note: I have the Tein Basic coilovers with about a .7 inch drop; the tech said he saw a maximum positive camber of ¾ degrees with these arm.

 

okay, from what i gathered,

cusco arms = +.5 degree camber correction
stillen = +.25 degree camber correction
kinetix = +1.5 degree camber correction
350 evo = ??
performance nissan = ??


i wanna know how much positive camber correction does the 350evo camber arms offer?? also, the performance nissan??

it seems like the kinetix might be ideal minus the fact of how it looks and noise factor. stillen costs 800 bucks for less camber correction than the cusco (350-400bucks) which is still only +.5 degrees. the 350evo looks like to be excellent in build quality. just wanna know adjustment range. I mean, for 850 bucks, I'd hope it would be able to get the camber back to factory specs on lowered Z's and G's.

 

i have the performance nissan arms, and i would say that they correct for +1.0 degrees. any more than that and you start to hit the inside frame rail. the 350 evo's definitely offer more positive adjustment.

350EVO arms allow for 30 MM of adjustment.
+ to -
From the center of our ball joint to the end of the slider plate is 20 mm and its shape contours nicely with the pocket in the chassis the arm fits into under compression.

I don't see any pics, which is not good since I'm in need of visual aids.

This is a great thread, but I'm having a hard time following the convo. What is the stock camber on the Z? Is that the only thing affecting the tire issue? What else would I need with the arms for just daily street use?

Thanks in advance!
