I have a 2004 Z that is a daily driver and autox'd pretty heavily. I want to upgrade the suspension for adjustability. I will be adding JIC coilovers and adjustable sways. My question is about camber. I would like to have adjustability in my camber and toe settings. This means new a arms up front. What offers the best bang for the buck. I am less clear about the rear. I have seen all kinds of posts about camber bolts vs. camber links. What do you recommend for adjustability in the rear for a car that will be autocrossed heavily?

 

Most people use SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts.

JIC, Stillen, Kinetix, Megan Racing and other companies all sell similar camber and toe arm kits.

I am running Kinetix arms on my car:

 

I guess I am wondering what is the difference between the SPC kit which uses camber arms and toe bolts and other kits that use camber and toe arms? Which is more appropriate for a car that is heavily autox'd?

 

Toe bolts require dremeling and its easier or faster to make adjustments.

Toe arms effect caster aswell, and may be more time consuming to adjust. IMO its mostly just personal prefrence. They both do the same job.

 

I have read posts saying not to use toe arms, becuase they adjust the suspension improperly. Any other opinions on this?

 

That statement is false. When using toe arms, yes it is true that it will effect your caster aswell. But I have done my alignment, and my corrected my camber, toe and caster all within spec. Furthermore as long as you keep your caster equal on both sides, you will not experience any negative handling characteristics. Just get your alignment professionally done by someoen who understands what he is doing.
