Camber adjustment?

Hey guys I'm in the process of lowering my car and i'm just wondering if the maxima has any serious need for some camber adjustment after lowering... i have chosen the sprint/tokico set up and i realize that for most lowered cars that camber adjustments should be made to avoid uneven tread wear etc. my question is for maxima owners who have had their car lowered for some time and whether or not they have noticed any significant camber wear on their tires

I had bad wear on my tires but it was because of the rear suspension member being bent.

You can get camber bolts for the front and use an adjustable rear link in the rear to replace the non adjustable one. i jsut got the adjustable ones off of my parts car. You can probably get them cheap from a junk yard.

all of the 3rd gen maximas have 1 rear adjustable link and 1 solid link on each side for toe adjustment. I took the adjustable one off of my parts car and moved it over and replaced my solid one so now I have 2 adjustable links per side (instead of 1 solid and 1 adjustable) and can adjust camber now.

just do a search for camber bolts. internetautomar probably sells them.

yea camber bolts cost about 35-50 not too bad but need to be installed at an alignment shop while your car is being aligned.
