Default Most amount of camber possible

Hey guys, first post here and im looking for some help with my camber problem.

I've just orded new wheels for my 2003 350z, 18x11 and 18x13 and now im looking for camber links and arms.

Im going pretty wild with the angle of the wheels but i cant really find any good rear links and front arms that will give me the desired camber.
So if u guys could help me link some with MUCH adjustments.

The best i found so far is the rear camber links from SPL with adjustment range +/- 10deg from stock arm.
https://www.splparts.com/store/produ...hp?pid273.html

But i need more tips both for front and rear.

I live in sweden so a requirement is that the campany can sen them.
Sorry for my bad english

I don't have experience with extreme camber setups but having read enough posts on this forum I would suggest going all SPL parts. I can only imagine the stress that amount of camber puts on a car and SPL is probably going to be your best bet for parts that will hold up.

So with that in mind, get SPL front upper control arms, SPL rear camber arms, and SPL rear toe arms (if you have true type coilovers). While you're at it, I'd replace all the bushings you can with SPL because with a lot of camber you are going to eat OEM bushings.

The only front UCAs (that I know of) that actually are capable of a decent amount of negative camber are Megan.

But I will need spacers to clear the brakes so I do not know what the offset will be at the end!

Hey OP. Based on what you're doing, you're going to have to do custom arms front and rear. To get either of those wheels to fit without fender widening (at the current specs), you need about -5- -7 front and about -8- 10 rear. That's to assume flushness because a 13 is wide to begin with. If you're going to add spacers, that will (obviously) only push the wheels out more than that. If I'm to assume a 15mm-ish spacer would be needed to clear brembos, that puts you into effective negatives. At an 18x12 -2, I need -7 camber to not look mexiflush.

To all that, custom stuff and it's gonna be fairly extreme. Look up some of the gurus of that to see what they're running. But, I'm pretty sure it's modified arms because nobody makes anything for that kind of application.

edit: spl will get you about -11 and I think that's maxxed angle.

+1. That.

QUESTION tho. Why are you running such aggressive numbers AND spacers? Why not just get lo disk or offset enough to clear your brembos. I got'em, so I know you don't need much to clear and still be aggressive. My Rays (the 18x12 -2) clear my brembos just fine.

I have Megan arms in the rear and ran -6.5 no problem for a year but am now goin back to oem spec for new setup. Also have a friend who has been running Megan for about 2 years now at -8.5 or -9 with no issues. if you want to see pics of my old set up look up on instagram @RWD_FTW or my buddy @508350z
