Default Camber kit for 03

Hey, is there a shop locally in the Honolulu area that has the camber kit available for an 03 with eibach pro lowering springs. I believe on an 03, the rear is only necessary. If there isn't, any suggestions on where to buy online? or a shop to order it?

Hey nice to see you posting again.

Which camber Kit are you talking about? You talking about the Toe bolt mod or the 2 rods on each side? Either way on difulty scale and correct tools your looking at a 4 of 10 for either one.

Yeah...its been a minute since I last posted. Just tryna leave Korea, get to Honolulu next week for good. My Z is already there in oahu, the wife has it. I was talking about the 2 adjustable rear camber arms...seems a reasonable price. $60.00 add $40.00 shipping or should I go with the Toe bolt mod. Some offer the bolts and Arms and others just offer the arms. It seems the arms would be easier...Yes/No/which one? The rear definetly needs the camber kit...tires wearing pretty bad. I wanna take to Island brake and Alignment for work. You know if they would put the camber kit on? or sonics?

I'm pretty sure either of them would install them, but I'd do it with sonic's.

Here is the thing about the camber arms: You need the traction and camber arms together to properly align them and if you have more than an inch its best to have both arms and the toe bolts.

You can adjust them to a certain point then it starts effecting the toe in of the rear. Thats where the bolts come in. The modified holes and new cam bolts let you adjust beyond that toe in point. So what it would be is all three adjusted and well with in their limits and not to the end of their adjustments. You have room if other things happen.

When were you planning on doing this man. If Im in town I can help you with the arms. Real easy did my by my self. The traction bars (front ones) are a little tricky.

Let me know

Island brake and alignment is good. Not sure how much they would charge to do the arms. If anything we can install it for you and then you can have them do the alignment.

Where did you end up getting these put in? I have a complete SPC kit (front and rear) that I need to put in to satisfy the RECONS people. Any shop recommendations? I took my car to New City Nissan a few weeks ago, and I was fairly satisfied, but I generally like to avoid dealerships if possible, out of principle.

Sorry, I should read the full thread before I post. So looks like sonic and island alignment are the best, but sonic can't do the alignment? Is that correct?
