Doran front camber arms finally installed
 

While I haven't had a chance to really run the car hard yet, I can still say these things are phenomenal. All this extra negative camber up front makes the Z feel so much compliant. :tup:

Also found out I was probably running too much toe out up front from the factory causing the front end to be twitchy under hard braking.

Last but not least big thanks to Fishey for putting these arms on for me and getting the alignment done for next to nothing. Hell he even "modified" his alignment rack to get my Z on it. :tiphat:

Very nice.

How much negitive camber did you go with and is there adjustment for even more?

There isn't much that fire and a sledge hammer can't fix.

Sweet. Love to have but to much baller status for me. lol

It's right around -2.0 at the moment. There's definitely more to be had, how much though I'm not sure. When we put them on we just guessed at what shim to use and got lucky (went with the thicker of the two different sizes that Doran gave me, probably 1/8" thick). Also I'm still at stock ride height so based on what I've read on here the camber will only go more negative if I ever lower the Z.

If I remember right I think the camber was around -0.7 from the factory according to my camber gauge when I checked a few month ago.

You'll have to get that picture from Matt and post it up.

.7 has given me pretty even tire wear. in a couple of thousand you should see your inside wearing more than outside...just a fyi.

Thanks for the heads up. Don't put too many miles on my Z as it's just a fun/weekend/AutoX car. She just turned 4300 mi today.

I do know that I've already worn the outside shoulder off the front tires after just one season of AutoX. I'm sure part of that was just poor driving on my part.

what's the difference in weight compared to stock? i couldn't believe how light they were when i saw them at doran's shop last year

Unfortunately I didn't weigh the Doran arms so I can't tell you what the weight difference is.

Awesome!!

How much positive camber can you get out of these?

Or are these specifically made to get more negative camber.

Usually people buy camber arms to go back positive after they have lowered their car.

The outside shoulder of your tires was probably worn because of too much positive camber. Negative camber should solve that problem. Basically when your car was rolling into corners, it would roll off the center of the tire onto the outside shoulders tearing up the tread. More camber, more fun! :driving: I plan on my setup being -2.2 in front and -1.5 in the rear for next season.


If you aren't planning on HEAVY tracking, these are probably an overkill for camber adjustment lol.
