Default 350z front camber adjustment/cam bolts

Ok say I want to adjust my front camber without spending $400+ on control arms, so I decided to look into getting cam bolts to replace the regular bolts just like my Evo and subarus front camber is done...

I found these: http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...170126212359:s

Needless to say $160 for two cam bolts is laughable 😂😂😂(especially for only one side) so I'm wondering if anyone knows anywhere else to buy these?

My cars only being lowered about an inch all the way around so aftermarket control arms just seem overkill to me.

You can only do it with arms or someone would have released a kit years ago.

Lol ohh, well in my defense the picture literally has 2 cam bolts in it ������. I don't understand why putting cam bolts on the bottom of the shock like Subaru and Mitsubishi have won't allow for camber adjustment. I thought they only offered the whole control arm kit so you could adjust caster as well or so you had a wider range of adjustment.

Look at the design of the suspension, it doesn't work like the way you described.
IF it did, we'd have the bolts years and years ago.

Quick check on our sponsor sites show FUCAs ranging from under $250/pr to $700+. FWIW, I run SPC - middle of the road - and have been happy with them and no issues that you'll see mentioned here and there (as do comments on all the brands).

Examples:

Yes I've read bad things about the cheaper models I'll likely be getting SPC as well. Thank you guys.

So I looked under a 370z at work today and I see the suspension is not setup how I assumed it was lol. Now I understand. Hard to believe I never noticed after being under hundreds of Z's.

Hah, good thing to not just look at images but to really inspect it in person too.


So yep, unfortunately it's camber arms if you want to adjust.
