Any camber adjustment found?
I've used the search for the forums but couldn't find an acceptible answer, so i'll make a post and ask.
I installed Koni's on my 03 Enth a few weeks ago, I am HEAVILY into autocross, and got them because I've run Koni's before and know what an improvement they can be on a vehicle. I'm headed to Oklahoma this weekend for the second Midiv Solotime event, and was wondering before I go if anyone has found any way to get any camber adjustment out of the front end?
I'm running in B-Stock, so I am limited as to what I can do, shocks, front swaybar and catback are basically what the law allows. Is there any method to adjust the front?
Any method to adjusting the toe? I've got my FSM, but haven't had a chance to look for toe adjustment in it yet.
Thanks for your input.
I'll also have a large writeup on the Koni install on my web site http://www.solo2.org/ later this evening, probably late tonight. The writeup will have thorough documentation on the install, and what to look for and watch out for during install, with detailed pictures included. Hope it proves useful for someone else besides me!

All you can adjust is the toe on the front. Just loosen the nuts on the tie rod ends and turn to your hearts content. Very conventional toe adjustment.
Given that the top is mounted via a ball joint to a non-adjustable arm, and that the lower end is fixed in place by the compression arm, I can't see how you could get camber adjstment in the front without adjustable upper arms, or bushings and cam pins or something similar on the lower end.
I guess you could loosen up the upper arm bolts and see if there is any slop to be had, and do the same with the other parts, but I bet the slop is less than the play in the parts anyway, so you probably would not notice the difference.
I assume that your class prohibits the Nismo upper arms?
K-Mac will have a kit by July, I am told, but once again, you would be changing out certain stock parts to get adjustable parts in place for caster/camber.
Maybe someone smarter than I am can figure out how to move the front end around without changing parts, but from what I have seen of the design, it's not obvious to me.
