Re: camber question for y33 q45

Not sure about what camber amounts you will have at that drop, but I do know about the camber setups in these cars.

They use an upper camber arm and a bolt with a concentric washer on it. This can be adjusted to give 2-3 degrees of camber adjustment.

As Dark Anghell discovered, the S14 240SX aftermarket adjustable camber arms are a direct bolton for the Y33. And we will have confirmation after this weekend, but i believe the rear Toe control arms are as well. Same for the rear traction rods. Can make a bling-bling rear suspension setup using cheap ebay drift parts!! Haha

When lowering or adding camber to these cars a Toe control rod is mandatory

Re: camber question for y33 q45

Front suspension has no upper control arms. Only camber adjustment possible is with camber adjustable strut-top mounts. Advantage is that lowering it does not induce camber

For the rear, I have a Z32/S13 rear toe control arm. It fits with only a couple of washers needed to space it correctly

I am going to buy an S14 rear upper camber arm tomorrow

Re: camber question for y33 q45

you need 300zx rear toe arms and some washers on one side to make up for 1cm difference in spacing.
