Hey guys. I just installed my new RPF1 rims and Hankook RS3 tires. When I drove to Nissan to get an allignment I noticed that I have a negative camber of 2.0 and 1.6 in the front. This is obviously too much negative for a daily driver. I have Tein-S Tech springs and Ichiba camber kit that I also just installed. I made sure to open the control arm all the way up (most positive position).

My back tires are fine and within spec. Why are my front tires so far out of spec? I was running -0.8 camber with the stock control arm, 225/45/18 and Tein S Techs. Now I'm running -2.0 with Ichiba control arm, 265/35/18 and Tein S Techs.

Is there anything I can do short of getting different control arms? What caused the camber to go so negative.....only thing I can think of are the new tires.

Thanks

 

Nope, nothing. Once you start modding, your snow ball gets bigger down hill. Just buy the arms or go back to stock, your only logical choices.

 

New tires do not change camber. You want to run what? 1.0 degrees negative camber? Best person to speak with is the mechanic who did the alignment.

 

If your running RS3's on RPF1's your probably set up for the track. Bump up to -2.8 camber. Honestly i would just reset the camber arms and run no less than -1.5

 

Well I don't want to be set up for track, I want to be set up for daily driver. I didn't think that tires change camber but the only thing other than tires that changed was the Ichiba camber arm.

I'd like to run around 1.0 negative camber and no more than -1.4

 

Good chance your mechanic is clueless or lazy , should be easy to adjust unless they are a proper camber arm designed to add camber

 

The Ichiba arms will only add 0.2 - 0.5 on s-techs. You need SPC arms with the shims to get back in spec. Plus, ichiba's just plain suck bawls, all 4 corners blew bushings in 5k miles normal street use for me. Notice that clank sound on bumpy cornering? Yea that's the ichibas sucking.

 

dont be a puss....i daily -4 out back, grow a pair and be a baus

 

Thats i just HellaGay style camber. Slower NA car (not 350Z) need up to 3 degrees out back for racing, hellgay would be adding a lot more than needed.

 

+1000 there is nothing "baus" about crappy handling
