need camber plates who knows where to get best price

 

Stillen is the only company who makes them, so you are pretty much limited to stillen's price... which is $$$$$.

Get Eibach camber bolts from TireRack, they are like $28 and have 1.75 degrees of adjustability.

 

Do you know if I have to remove the shock towers AGAIN to do this camber bolt?

 

No camber bolts go in place of one of the two large 19mm bolts that holds your steering knuckle to your strut... the ones visible right above and behind your brake rotor.

 

Oooooooo cool, is that a pretty trust worthy system to use? When I lowered my car they told me that I'm off 7/100??? something.

 

Or you could take your car to an custom alignment shop and have they widen the strut holes. I only paid $50 to have them set my camber to -2.5 deg. It also works the oppsite way.

 

I bought camber bolts from O'Reillys for $29 per axle (two bolts). This was for my 2002 Camry but the Maxima should work about the same. Camry has struts at all four wheels and all had to be realigned.

Blade_99SE,

You had your camber set to -2.5 degrees? That is leaning way in at the top. That just can't be right. Camber is normally -.50 maximum.

 

-2.5 deg isn't the greatest setting for maxium tire wear, but if your looking for maxium traction through a curves it works really well. The reason I suggested having the struts cut. If you install the camber bolts your still going to have to have someone align the car. It might be cheaper to have the person that aligns the car to just slot the struts vs the cost of the bolt plus the cost of the alignment.

I only suggested this because I had no idea that this was an option. So I wasted $38 for these bolts and didn't even need them, but at least I didn't waste money on the camber plates I orginally set out to get.

 

Now I hear you. I don't do corner racing so I am not up on camber setting for that type of racing.

 

Dude,
where have you been hiding? haven't seen you post in like a yr!
glad to see ya still around, and still got that 99! You going to maxus 03?
later.
