Alignment issues
 
Hello, so, my buddy and I dropped my Z on some stance coilovers. I like the way it looks and it's not too low for daily driving. However, after installing the coilovers. There's a lot of negative camber in the rear, specially the back right. I tried to take it to three shops so far around here and none of them can get te car on the rack for an alignment. So my question is, would getting a camber kit help solve the problem and get the negative camber out?

Yes take a look at getting the SPL or SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts.

You have to get camber arms even if you drop your car an inch. Hopefully your stance coils have adjustable camber plates on the fronts. Get toe bolts for rears as well and if you are going to track it, a lockout kit might help you from losing your alignment. GL trying to find a place that can take your car.

Sorry man but you have some bad info here. First off the Z has A arm suspension and adjustable camber plates are for struts. You adjust the front camber by getting adjustable upper control arms.
Second you can get back to within the camber high spec in the rear (-2) with just the stock adjustment bolts if you only lower about an inch.

Ahh I see. I guess I will have to get adjustable control arms when I get my coils as Im on springs now. My 240sx had the plates when I had coils on them but I didnt think about how they had different setups. As far as the rear, I have the stock setting all the way in as far as possible to try and correct the camber but am still eating the inside of tires like crazy which is why i recommend him getting camber arms for the rear.

I recommend SPL products over SPC. I own both and the SPL is much more superior.
