I thought I'd share a little project I did for my Z I use for Time Trials.

For years I've never been able to get the amount of negative camber I needed without slamming the car, which adds countless other issues. So I had it pulled apart this winter and figured out a semi-simple way to get my camber and not have my car slammed. I know others have done offset bushings, which is a great idea but here's another option if you already have the Cusco's.

Here's the untouched arms.



There are two things that limit negative camber. From the top side the ball joint knuckle hits the round side section. From the bottom side the square edge butts up against the lip of the arm.



If you turn the lower section around you no longer have the edge butt up against the arm and your only limited factor is the top edge, which I had machined out by a friend. It was a very simple job that only took him about an hour and $40 cash.





I haven't had it on an alignment rack yet but using a digital angle finder I measured both sides and averaged them (to account for any angle from the floor) and had about 6 degrees at my current ride height. Previously I had just over 3 degrees. Obviously way too much but the good new is I now can raise the car to a decent ride height.

Good find.
