um... when you lower the car.

I think anything over an inch of lowering would raise the need for camber adjustment.

 

when you lower your car and want less camber for less cornering performance...

If the reason is to save tire wear... there are cheeper options...

So i probably wouldnt need it if i ran a somewhat conservative wheel/suspension setup? Front and rear camber arms run like a grand a set so i dont wanna waste money on them if i dont need them.

 

a grand a set? not really.

You can pick up a set of cusco front adjusters for about $400 and the SPC camber and toe bolts for $50 a side. So for $500 you can adjust camber both front and rear.

I chose the 350Evo front camber arms because of the use of Spherical bearings but that is not necessary. just preference.

 

add labor etc...

Plus, unless you are going to go to 0 degree's camber front and rear you are still going to get inner tire wear...

A stock 350Z and fully lowered 350Z will wear on the inside... The difference will be a few thousand miles...

If you do the tire rotation I describe you can get more even tire wear and longer life out of your tires while keeping aggressive camber angles and getting the most corner handling out of your Z....

If you go to 0 degree's camber front and rear on the Z, it will not handle nearly as well as it does stock...

 

I lowered my car approx 1". I spent $400 for Cusco front A-arms, $400 for rear traction rods and $400 for rear Camber adjustment rods. My alignment tech said the Cusco front arms gave me no more adjustment than my stock arms as far as returning to stock specs, so that was $400 wasted. The rear traction rods were not necessary so that was another $400 wasted. The closest the front would come in is -1 degrees camber front left and right. The closest the rear would come in when setting the toe perfect to spec was -1.9 degrees camber rear left rear and -1.3 camber right rear. If I had to do it over I would have only bought the rear camber arms for $400.

 

you need not to 0 degrees to get good tire wear

I am running 1.5 degrees, and have been between 1.5 and 2 degrees (dialing in for the right balance of turn in and wear) since fitting the first set of Cusco arms to a Z in the US. Install was a snap - an hour total, for both sides

Rocketdog - not for nothing, but your installer was wrong. There is no front adjustment on the stock arms at all. -1 degrees is WELL within stock range for front camber. With the Cusco, you can adjust a car lowered 2 inches to nearly within stock specs. I am at 2 inches lowered on my car (25.5 inches from center line of front wheel well to the ground), and am at -1.5 degrees up front. This netted me .75 less camber than I had with same rideheight adn stock arms. If you mod the arms (slot the holes), you can gain even further adjustment

 

i want to get these to give my car MORE camber on the stock suspension. this is possible, right? can i easily adjust this when i go to the track?
