Here is a picture from the supra meet - there were a few 800+ supras and a lot of 480+ cars - and me...... some 370 guys showed up and a new nismo? i'm not really certain but it had the aero.. well it dyno'd 289 to the wheels - bone stock i'm assuming -
buddy with a 7m (old school supra motor) put down a nice 700whp
On the Z, I guess there are locking bolts as well for the camber? that can be purchased, because the camber slips on hard cornering? That sounds serious in my opinion - does this really happen?

Mike,
An eccentric bolt will slip because of the shape of the washer. When you change to adjustable (your SPC) arms you don't need that bolt to be the adjustment point. Therefore, you eliminate the possibility of it slipping by using lockout washers.
If you keep the factory spring bucket then you want to keep adjustable toe bolts. The SPC toe bolts offer more adjustability than the factory bolts.
Remember, the camber bolts and toe bolts are two different things, but they work together - or against each other if you look at it that way.

I have never had my slip. I think its going to take a BIG side load to get them to slip. Ultra stick track tires along with some kind of side impact, or you drift into some rough pavement.

Mike if your in the stock spring buckets you will have to have an eccentric washer to make adjustments. You can only use lockout washers if you have some other way to adjust them.(SPC bucket style).

Scott are you still using factory toe bolts or did you switch to SPC also?

Sorry, i mean SPL, and I have the SPC toe bolts. Wish there was a more precise way to make adjustments without going to a complete new bucket.
