Rear Camber Arms.

BigD · 08-04-2009, 11:30 AM

I have just had Eibach springs fitted. As much as I'm happy with the drop, the rear camber is too negative at -2.36 and -2.43 for left and right.
That's the best we could get out of the wheel alignment.
I was going to order a set of rear camber arms to fix up the camber but I was advised that they don't work and are a waste of money.
Can anyone of you guys who actually have the camber arms fitted please advise me if they are worth getting.
They are not available in Australia so I would have to order them from US and therefore I want to make sure I'm not wasting my money.
Thank you.

Not sure who told you that, but they definitely work. The SPL Parts rear camber arms have +/- 10 degrees of adjustment which is far more than you would ever need. I have them on my 370Z and love them. Adjusting your rear camber will also affect the toe though. The rear toe bolts will probably be good enough to get the toe back in specs as well but as long as you are shipping stuff from the US, you might as well throw some SPC Performance toe bolts in there as they are cheap and will allow you to get another +/- 3 degrees of toe adjustment. I did not need the toe bolts, but I keep my rear camber around -2.0 for the street.

Thank you for your response.
I was advised that they don't work because of the toe issue.
Since the 370z was only released in Australia just over a month ago, I am probably the first one in my State to have the Eibach's fitted and it is possible that my technician is going on his experience with the 350z.
Anyway, please PM me the price for the arms and toe bolts including air freight to Perth, Western Australia.

Yeah there is a cam bolt on the inside of the lower arm that holds the rear spring. That cam bolt adjusts toe. The SPC bolts replace those and have a larger cam lobe.

I will try and figure out shipping to Perth and get back to you sometime today.

Rear camber arms worked great on my 370Z. I am dropped on BC racing coilovers and with the rear camber arms got my rear set at -1.7.

Right now your only option is SPC Performance front upper control arms. Hopefully there will be more options coming out soon though.
