Default Need Advice: Camber and Toe Adjustment

Hey everyone,

I have a couple questions and looking for opinions about adjusting the camber and toe on my Z. The guy I bought the car from said it was lowered (still in the process of verifying that info) and I replaced the stock 17in rims (one was bent) with 19s from a g35. In the future I plan on buying coil overs, not sure on oem style or true coil overs yet, guess it kinda of depends on the deal I can get when I plan on buying. I do plan on doing a few track days a year, nothing super serious, just going out with friends and having some fun.

Now after doing some research on here I have some questions and could use some opinions and suggestions. I will be the first to admit that I don't know everything about suspensions. Any way, I have been looking into UCAs, camber arms, and toe bolts and was wondering what everyone thought about SPC and Kinetix parts? I have read some horror stories about Ichiba and just want to make sure what I spend my money on will last.

Also if I end up getting true coil overs, I will delete the spring buckets, so if I get toe bolts now, will having to enlarge the slot for the toe bolts effect the delete arm?

I am just trying to plan for the future as much as I can.

Thank you everyone for the help and suggestions.

you will use eccentric lockout when you go to a toe arm, so enlarging the hole doesnt matter.

Ok great. Thank you for the info. Have you used Kinetix or SPC parts?

Those are very popular brands among members. Take some time and do a search

I was actually in the process of searching but wasn't finding much (but i was at work so could search too much) I did a little more research and well its still a toss up but im leaning toward SPC parts. Well at least UCAs, the Kinetix ones look to be kind of a pain to adjust.

If anyone has any experience with installing these parts or the company's customer service feel free to chime in. I like to buy items from companies that i know are willing to help me out and talk to me if problems arise.
