M45/Y34 REAR CAMBER HELP
Ok so I bought some camber arms that came off a 350z (z33) and they fit. I took it to les Shwab tires to get an alignment yada yada yada... And It didn't give me enough camber. The guy at the shop told me I have a top arm and a lower arm. The lower arm isn't maxed out but if I do more I will get too much tow. So I was wondering what top mount rear camber arm would work. Can any Y34 owners help me?

You need adjustable upper arm to camber it more.
if your running true coilovers you can replace the spring buckets with toe arms

How much camber are you trying to get?
You'll need to elongate the subframe side where the spring bucket mounts and use larger eccentric bolts to correct toe for anything beyond -3.5 or -4
What rear arms did you get?

I am not sure elongating the holes will actually work on the Y34. The holes go in a different direction than what the Z33/V35 does. Up and Down instead of side to side. Plus, the 350z aftermarket eccentric toe washer does not sit completely flush. When I looked at mine and tried installing the eccentric washers, it just looked like it wasn't going to do much. I could be wrong here though.
Unless you can get somebody to customize your OEM spring bucket, the only other way is to convert to true style setup in the rear and get toe arms like the Megan one's. Forjworks sells threaded brackets for Aero Sport (or the likes) air bags so it can work like a true style coilover setup. Good luck finding RUCAs for a Y34. S14 RLCA Maybe? They look the same but highly doubt would fit.
I had 350z toe (megan), ebay camber and traction/caster arms in the rear of my Y34 but then again, I was a true style setup with my coils. But what 4DGS said, anything past around -4 camber in the rear and you won't get toe aligned without a fully adjustable toe arm.
