I'm finally getting my SPC rear camber kit installed and was wondering how long this should take?
I heard that drilling out for the Bolt is a pain in the ***.

Any info?

Thanks

 

it's the easiest mod you'll ever do - just make sure you have a high-powered dremel to cut out the hole (nice DIY on here somewhere for that). the arms are very simple. just make sure there is roughly the same amount of thread on each side of the adjustment ****.

 

a shop quotes me from 1-2 hours.

 

I'm having it done at performance nissan but want to make sure I have an idea of how long it will take.

 

Its an hour job...heres the write up for it

BTW protocav can do this for VERY cheap down in SD and has done tons of them. Every Z/G in SD with this done had it done by protocav...

 

Im gettin these as well, im dropped on Tein Type Flex and right now my rears are DEF out of spec, do i need the rear arms or could i just get through with the toe bolts alone??

 

You should honestly get both... FOr the low cost of the SPC units you might as well.

 

thanks guys!

 

one more questions:

I currently have 255/45/17 in the rear which will continue to use for drift days but am getting 295/35/18 for day to day this week; I also run the 26 x 10.5 x 15 Slicks at the track

will my camber/alignment be affected by that or do I not need to worry?

 

IAP Direct has them for $219 for both, is that a decent price or are there cheaper places than that??? thanks guys

 

About 1-2 hours labor but you MUST go immidiately for an alighnment or the car will feel like the rear end is loose..

 

elite_350Z...

there are places cheaper than that, roughly 20% cheaper

but to earn the low price, you must search.

and i'm not talking about a private seller...i'm talking about a nationally recognized online retailer.

good luck

 

Nopi used to have them cheaper...that being said I got mine at IAP Direct...

 

Thats noted as well at the end of protocavs write up. In some cases your slip light will even come on as the rear tires are scrubbing so bad the ECU thinks you are slipping...

 

anyone have an answer on my question in regards to different tire sizes?

 

Hey - I don't have SPC rear camber arms - I thought you where trying to buy exactly what I have? Just - joking.

Your camber will not be effected by different wheel sizes, but you may want to set up different cambers for the different driving styles. For steet, 0 to -0.5 is ideal, for drag you want as close to 0 as you can get, for drifting I believe the ideal is around -1.5.

 

Damn did my spy network fail me on that one?

from what I understand is that 0 is perfect for drag racing, -2.0 is stock and -1.2 is as high as nissan recomends as a valid camber.

Don't you have to get an alignment everytime you change the camber settings?

 

Yes. Changing the camber will affect the toe of the wheel too. However if you could mark each setting accurately you could probably adjust each time to a pretty close setting. Camber at the strip should be close to 0. Maybe -.6, -.7 But that will yeild crappy cornering... -1.5 works well for me for handling and dialy driving...

 

very good info on this thread... noobs should read this.

 

IAP was a little more expensive but Peter price matched and gave me them for $180 shipped, this is rear camber + toe bolts...anyone lookin to get these Peter from IAP will take care of you...
