Thanks dude - Looks like I'll be modding my Cusco's

The M35X upper arms will fit the Z, and provide a good amount of neg camber since they're much shorter than the OEM uppers.

I'd rather just slot my Cusco's and move the balljoint further in. I considered trying to extend the lower control arms, but I think that would end up fcking with the compression rod not fitting into the spindle properly.

Seems like most guys are just shortening the UCA's instead. Dudes in Japan are actually taking them, cutting out sections, and re-welding them back together for insane neg camber.

Like this dude: (He said he's got 13 degrees of neg)

there is no need for all that negative camber, but it is not my car

 

Cool man, there's other threads for you then.

If you're drifting, then yes there is a need for negative camber up front.

 

lol Neg camber up front and 0 out back is the right setup, but nobody runs -10 and over on their drift car, if they do than they have no idea what they're doing and are straight up losing needed grip.

 

-11 and he seems to be doing well haha

 

I'm not saying it doesn't work... either way Zs and s-chassis cars have very different suspension components and geometry. Double wishbone and macpherson act differently under load and turning.

Hey Irish_Guy,
Guess who's got a working tranny and a readily driveable car again?

 

My man, you'll have to come out next cruise night. We had a good time last night

 

I totally agree with you on that. But in general, when cars run more negative camber up front, the leading wheel will flatten out in countersteer and provide grip needed. Yes the trailing wheel will lift up even more, but it's just getting dragged anyway.

This is why the PBM SAK is pretty cool, cuz you can adjust all that. I'm just surprised that they're the only company really that's offering anything in terms of extending lower control arms for more neg camber up front, with caster adjustability. I think Fontana used to have something, but they're rare to come by.

 

Wide enough?

 

That depends what the specs are

 

18x11 -22 18x12 -10

 

What air ride system have you utilized to achieve such a great looking parked stance?

 

 

Remember when people in here had actual ***** and were all sitting on coilovers?

Btw, if you're gonna be a hardparker at least get camber to match all around...

 

Times have changed, bags are much more affordable now a days and practically give you the ride quality of a static car.

Back then bags could only get you as low as a coilover could now they could let you almost lay frame.

"not trying to start a bag vs coil thing here" LOL

 

Well, "more" affordable is still twice the cost of coils for parts and twice the cost of coils for installation/setup. I mean, I'm a proponent for bags on plenty of cars. But, on our vehicles, where everything of importance sits high, it's so easy to slam a car without worry of really destroying anything that would leave you stranded.

For reference.











And, it's higher now than it was when I had negative offsets and foot wide wheels. They called me Sir Slammington Cosworth of Pokeyton Manor....ok, nobody ever called me that. But, my point is, if you're gonna bag a Z/G, it better be on some extreme nonsense like Vis..Vig...I don't remember how to spell his name, but the kid with the cambergang Z.

And I've got a buddy in FL with a lower car than mine

STATIC DINNA MUG









pOINT is, if you're bagged, BE GREAT!!!!! Don't be good.
