Camber Kit
 

Guys this is crazy does anyone have information of where I could find a camber kit for the 03 maxima SE front and rear? I am not looking for the silly bolts that you can find for the front suspension.:thumbsdow If there are none available COTS then does anyone know who will custom make them for Maxima owners?

stillen sells one

I know this is a nub question, but what do Camber Kits do?

Hmm... thats funny they never advertise that they sell them, I will check this out when there open today. Thanks!

What is camber?
Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the tire/wheel assembly. This angle is measured from a true vertical line, i.e. perpendicular to the ground. A tire/wheel assembly that is tilted outward at the top is considered to have Positive camber. While a tire/wheel assembly tilted inward at the top, displays Negative camber. For a zero setting, the tire/wheel assembly is in the exact vertical position or perpendicular to the ground.

How far can I lower my car before I need to adjust camber?
ANY amount of ride height change will cause camber and toe to change. It might not always be visible but having your camber out of adjustment will cause the tire to run on the inside edge only. The lower you go the more negative camber you will get and the faster the tire will wear. Toe will also be affected. Having your toe out of specifications will wear tires and make the car handle unfavorably.

So when you lower your car, you should get a camber kit?

I just lowered my max.

I guess to answer your question, "yes." Opinions might differ, but I am going to drop my car another inch (its already dropped 1.5 inches) eventually and I would rather have these cambers installed before I go that far.

You never answered what camber kits actually DO lol. A camber kit corrects usually negative camber by extending the length of the upper control arm, allowing the ball joint which holds the control arm in place to be adjusted, in turn resetting the wheel to 0. Also, get an allignment!

Why thank you

Where can you get camber kits and how much are they?

thats what this thread is about...give it time.

and you dont always need a kit if you are lowered. it depends on the drop. i have H&R and a normal alignment got the camber within specs. you only need the kit if the car is lowered past the point that an alignment can fix it.

Sooner said you can find them at Stillen.com, not sure how much yet.

Come on Sooner he said he was a newbie :D Oops not a newbie, but obviously doesn’t know much about this subject.

but he doesnt need to "jack the tread" and act like he is starting the question :slant:

Oops I see :eek:

and i just remembered that i dont like you...i dont remember why...but i still do





:wall:

That cool, your are allow to feel what you feel, this is America.:growup:

Sorry Soonerfan, I didn't mean to "jack the thread".

lol

Some people should seriously remove the wad still stuck in their panties......:vqman:


:deezo:

did people ignore the :wall: smilie implying it was a joke?

proof that it was a joke...i answered the question

and way to quote me and take the time to remove the smilie to make it seem like i was serious

Ok, Ok Sooner, it really isn't a big deal :chuckle: I am cool with you.

go back to the DC forum

:lolrun:

I called Stillen and they no longer carry the camber plates :madmofo:. I asked could it be custom made being that they once sold it? Stillen said, "No." All they have is that Frackin camber bolt:banghead: which I heard is hard to adjust during your inlinement process.

Stillen hasn't made them in about 2 years. When they did make them, they ran about $400 for the set. I used to have them, but took them off because frankly, I didn't need them, and the upper mount made alot of freakin' noise.

eibach makes them, there is a group deal on it, i posted in the thread on how to use them b/c they look really weird
