Default Can someone help my camber problem!

Here are my specs:
19 x 10.5 rear
19 x 9.5 front
Lowered on Tein Flex

Can someone help me out by letting me know if the Stillen Camber kit would correct these issues?

I've been driving on them for about 1,000 miles. No really bad wear just yet.

Anyone know if the Stillen Camber kit would solve this issue ?

i wish a had a camber angle like that...

but yes... you can "fix" your camber "problem" with the camber kit from stillen in the rear... and the Unitech Racing UCA's for the front...

I guess it all depends on the driver... that is not a problem just out of stock camber spec... but... most Z owners that come to us for racing applications get camber kits for a MORE aggressive camber angle... more so then what you have... your not doing any harm... if your car was at stock alignment spec you would have just about the same inner tire wear...

the 350z has an aggressive camber angle because it was designed as a track car... if you have a car with 0degrees camber (so the tire is flat on the ground) then it would not corner as well as the Z... but on launches in a drag race for example... it would take the Z ona launch...


here is a link to a special I have going on rite now for that exact set up!

I have the Kinetix camber and traction arms in the rear and I am lowered about 1.5 inches. Camber arms dont need to be too fancy to get the job done. Check out Kinetixracing.com. The parts you are looking for cost about 1/2 of what the Stillen and JIC products do.

Thanks for the input Jason. I love the way my car handles with this negative camber, but I just wanted to line up my tires to preserve my tire wear a bit longer due to my car being a daily driver and not a primary track car.

Thanks again!

DJK - who did you have install them? I'm curious if I should have a performance shop take care of it, or if an alignment shop should and just knock out my alignment at the same time

I had my coilovers and camber kit put on at the same time at my local performance shop, but had a separate alignment place do a full alignment and adjust the camber. You will need to call your shop ahead of time to make sure they can do camber adjustments in addition to alignment. Your local Goodyear or Firestone probably wont be able to do this. If your local dealer is mod friendly like Performance, they may be able to accomodate you.

Good luck!
