Default Suspension HELP

I am looking for a one stop shop camber fix for my Z.
It is lowered 1.8" and in need of some positive camber.

Who makes both the front and rear pieces?

Thanks.

how off is your front camber? What wheels are tires are you running?

for the rear the answer is easy - SPC. The front your choices will vary depending on your answers to the above questions

Is the rear suspension adjustable from the factory? I see a camber bolt attached to the irear nner lower bar. If it is, this will help me untill I swap the whole suspension out.

Thanks

For the rear you cannot beat SPC radius arms with their elongated toe bolts; IMO and the opinion of many others they are #1. Up front Cusco a-arms will handle your camber adjustment needs, that is what I have and they work very well with the 19" wheels I have installed. I have also heard good things about EVO ( think they have been discontinued as the company is no longer doing 350's).

Do I have to modify the existing factory hole on the cross member for the SPC bolts to work?

Direct plug n play?

I like the CUSCO as well... can be adjusted while still installed. I can not find this from anyone else.

yes you have to widen the hole slightly for the bolts eccentric action to work...very easy to do. Total install time for the rear SPC kit is around an hour, and your best bet is probably having your alignment shop do the install since they will be back there already

I am looking at the Cusco front camber arms. My camber is sitting at -2.3 degrees. I would like to run -1 to -1.3 degrees. Can the Cuscos be modified to add +1 degree of camber? How does the modification affect strength and alignment stability?

Thanks
Jeff

jak - to get down that low, you'll likely have to expand the slot on the Cusco to bring it further out towards the outside of the car. It is quite easy to do (there have been directions posted before here), and there are no strength issues at all, as there is no direct load placed on that part of the plate.

Let us know...we've got plenty of a arms in stock, ready to go and can offer a package with the rear SPC kit if you need too

PM me with the price for a set of Cusco arms. I have the SPC rear camber & toe already.

Thanks
