Default ACP camber kit?

Has anyone heard of ACP? It's not a bad price, just kind of odd that they look like stillens rear camber arm.

If you are looking for camber arms, I would recommend an SPC kit. You are going to want the toe kit in addition to the camber arms, and the SPC kit includes them in their kit. I was able to find it for 219 shipped

It appears as though the SPC kit is only for the rear? Is there a different kit that you need for the front?

IIRC I remember seeing that they offered something for the front suspension, maybe some adjustable eecentric bolts? Or you could just bite the bullet and buy the 350 EVO adjustable control arms, they look like works of art. Or you could save money and buy some inexpensive Kinetix control arms for the front-but Ive heard they make noises, and I personally dont like the looks of them.

wow!! 850 dollars for control arms!! there has to be a cheaper way to fix tire feathering. That is really the only reason I need to adjust camber in the front.

I got excited just to see that it was for the rear, haven't found anything cheap for the fronts.

A while back like 1 1/2 years someone ordered bolts/spacers that adjusted the front from Australia, I can't remember what happened to that.

You really don't need these kits unless you dropped your car. They really don't do anything in regards to fixing the tire feathering on a stock car as far as I know.

The only options for additional adjustability for the fronts that I have seen are the kinetix and 350Evo control arms

My car is lowered. I have the Nismo S-tune suspension. So I guess my only option is the kinetix or 350Evo. Man I cant believe that it costs so much. I had a 96 eclipse that I lowered and a camber kit for that car only cost me like 100 bux.

I did my 300Z with an 85 dollar kit and the camber is perfect. The problem is the construction of the arm and how it hooks to the car. The 300ZX is able to just put some spacers between the arm and the car to push out the top and therefore reduce the camber but the way the 350Z arms connect to the car that is not possible.

Does anyone have a writeup on installing the toe bolts? Are there instructions that come with them?

I thaught the Nismo suspension didnt cause a problem w/ the camber.

I thaught i read somewhere that the camber problem only appears when you go lower then an inch.

I have no idea. Only had the car since monday. It was previously installed on the car. When I had the car on a lift last there was noticeable tire wear on the inside of the front tires.

Maybe I dont fully understand the "tire feathering" issue. Doesnt it occur on stock suspension set ups as well as when the car is lowered?

from the little I have read the tire feathering is seen on the 18' factory rims setup with even stock setup.



But as far as the nismo suspension.
If you have the Nismo (0.8 inch drop) suspension you should be within spec for the CAMBER. so no need to adjust it, unless ur a track man and want to twick your setup.

If you go more agressive w/ more then a one inch drop. then you have a camber issue. (top of the tires lean in)



I hope I help some.

yeah thanks everyone for turning this into a "what camber arm to get" that was how I found this acp one.

I wanted to wait for the hotchkis set, but I guess i'm just going to get the SPC's from ebay (search "g35 350z camber").
