just got them installed, took less than an hour total. i got lucky and didnt have to drop the coilovers, i used a jack under the lower arm to compress the spring to move it. pretty simple really. will post some pics later.

I just installed my Cusco's tonight, took me a little while...

I should have purchased a set of our old ones from Perf. nissan back in the day two years ago when we were still making them lol.... oh well, u snooze u loose.

I did not drop the suspension for my install, I have coilovers, and on one side, the bolts came out fairly easy. I had to move the suspension around a little to get the bolt back in.

the other side was a PIA, because the coil of the spring itself was in the way of the bolts and would not let them come out all the way. I would unbolt my upper nuts for the top of the shock tower but still couldn't get enough play with it. But I finally managed to get it all in lol....

for those of you who have adjusted the Cusco arms, what torque specs are u using for the camber plate bolts? and to adjust them, are you doing so w/orW/out unbolting the arms all over again>?



oh and just a comment.....
adjustable camber arms such as these are not initially intended to put your suspension to 0, for perfect tire wear... They are designed more so for track use, to be able to dial in the proper amount of negative camber for the best cornering and grip for your car. so that is why there is more negative camber adjust vs posative...

I just installed these as well, but I lost the diagrams showing the preset setting. I need to set these for full positive, and although I'm pretty sure of where all the bolts should go just curious as to whether anyone can post up a picture of the instructions so I can verify. TIA!
