When they do adjust it at the same time they alter rear caster and stress the entire assembly. The only PROPER way to adjust toe is to change the position of the spring bucket which is done with the SPC toe bolts. For front camber absolutely the EVo A arms are the way to go. For the rear the SPC offers everything you need at the abolsute best price on the market.
for some, paying top money meaning they get the best. *sigh*

I would also change the suspension to Tein Flex, the ride is solid, very very stiff, but if you can take the beating it will help you more than the nismo im sure, let us know which arms you get and how you like them, im also in your boat and need more traction from the rear.

I have no desire to lower the car any more than it already is. The tein coilovers will be too stiff to provide weight transfer when launching the car. Not to mention it already handles and rides great with the Nismo when I'm not running a DR in the back.

I ordered the SPC arms last night...I'll have a write-up for them done in the next few weeks.


Thanks for all the help guys!

Grats...you won't be disappointed. Let me know if you need me to dig up the toe bolt write up that protocav did...He has some good data in there including what exact Dremel bit you need, etc.

yes , i have the spc's also. you will definately need the toe bolts as the Z suspension has a TON of toe gain if you lower the car at all. i am dropped 2.5" in the rear and i have maxed out my spc toe bolts and can still only reach about -1 to -1.5 degrees camber in the rear. without those toe bolts, i would have to still be around -3 or more on camber or suffer wicked toe in. you will see what i mean if you do the install yourself. it can be frustrating setting camber and toe as a small adjustment on one will adversely affect the other.

my car is only lowered 20mm...so that's not an issue. I want to get rid of ALL of the negative camber (-1.4 degrees right now with the stock setup) for better traction. I might go back to a handling setup later, but this will be all straight line.

NOPI part number 076+1649
Performance Alignment Kit - Rear EZ Arm and Toe Cam - Camber Adjustment Range +/- 4.00 degree - Toe Adjustment +/- 3.0 degree - 2 required

Don't know if it is the same, but the part is off the special list and is now $78 each, a $16 jump for two. Maybe too many people from here ordered already. I should have ordered when I found it.

Default NOPI part number and price

I emailed NOPI and here is the answer:


72050 is 076+1649. It is now $78.69 each

Thank you,

Martin @ NOPI

800 277 6674 ext 263 inside USA

404 608 7999 ext 263 outside USA

That means that it is the Pro Series 350Z Extreme Rear Kit, and it is off sale and now about $17 more.

We did a GB for our local club. I didn't make squat.

NOPI has a low everyday price though. Check 'em out if you want some.
