Default rear camber question

Who makes aftermarket rear camber adjustments for oem style coilovers such as the bc coils?

I have an '06 touring with bc coils and cant find anything other than what looks like spring bucket deletes.


if anyone has info let me know.

i've found aftermarket camber bolts but can't really find anything else

thanks

there are a million companies that make aftermarket camber arms in the rear.

you're getting mixed up with toe arms. a spring bucket delete would require aftermarket toe arms.

and there is no such thing as a camber bolt. you're confusing it with toe bolts.

google SPC or ichiba camber kit. they're mediocre but provide what you need.

well, ive never heard of any aftermarket eccentric camber bolts for the Z, hence why I said there is no such thing as a camber bolt other than the factory eccentric bolt.

even then there is only so much adjustment until you need to get camber arms.

There IS such thing as a camber bolt but the toe AND camber bolts are pretty much useless after you get to a certain point. But Definately go with SPL parts. they have a true adjustable Toe link that replaces the spring bucket ( mid-link )

Definitely look into SPL suspension bits.

Hope this helps.

my point exactly. there is such a thing as a camber bolt, but what I was trying to state was I do not recall ANYONE making aftermarket camber bolts. even so, they can only be adjusted so much as you said so the factory camber bolt will justify.


i kinda worded it wrongly though.

i understand what you're saying duckee. Basically what happened was i was looking at em and remembered they had the spring buckets and to me it seems like the spring buckets would adjust camber more than what is appearantly the camber arms.


But thanks guys for the help i went from 240'z and a silvia to this and the spring bucket had me all kindsa confused

Spring bucket on the Z adjusts toe, the arm forward of that adjusts camber. They need to be adjusted together, when camber is adjusted the toe changes, when toe is adjusted , camber also changes slightly.

The only arms on the market that are adjustable (more that stock) keeping the OEM spring placement is SPL. Or you just use aftermarket toe bolts. I really don't like using toe bolts, all my ecentric bolts are locked out.

and to add, I think actually just taking on and off misc susp parts in the rear, I THINK you might be able to actually interchange the toe and camber bolts, so if you bought a after market toe bolt, you might be able to infact use it on the camber bolt instead. Not 100% sure, but who knows, anyone have a opinion on this?

^trying to picture it. seems like it may work if the bolt holes are the same sizes, but again, i cant imagine much of an adjustment as a result.

They are the same, and yes this would work.

Pro= Cheap
Con= ecentric bolts are prone to slipping.
