Camber kit?

So it seems that my stock lower control arm (that controls the camber) is not short enough to get my rears to 0*. Did this happen to anyone with thier z's? My mechanic advised either to mod the stock one or i gave him better idea to buy an after market kit. What do you guys think? im currently at -1.3 on left and -1.4 on the right (rear)

Imo i need the new lower control arm, where could i get one within gta for reasonable price, and is it also possible to just purchase the the right rear one?

I bought my SPC camber kit front and rear through JRP in Mississauga.
I cant remember the price but it was resonable. I could see if i have the invoice if you like for a comparison pm me.

Why do you want to set camber to 0?

I had mine 1.5* rear and 1.9* front. Never had tire wear issues and does wonders on cornering.

0 degree is not within factory specs

toe eats tires, not camber (unless it is completely mismatched side to side, but that would mean something is bent)

Difference is that we cornered pretty hard.. kinda made up for any camber wear..

^Exactly

That's the whole point of driving a Z isn't it?
I could have used some more camber actually... my outer edge of the tires on the front were still wearing before the inside!
