FX Rear toe and camber kits.

Bringing this back from the dead. Is this still the case? One of the #72055 and the #72265 should do the trick if I'm lowered on H&R's? Or should I go with two sets of the #72265 if I plan on adding the GTSpec braces at some point?

if youre only on hr's you should be okay without a camber kit. this is for the really slammed guys on coilovers.
 
Yep, ask meme was saying H&R is not bad camber at all (at least in my many installation experiences), but if you insists, I used two set of SPC 72265 kit with the both GTSPEC braces (lower rear lateral and the rear tie). If you're not using with the GTSPEC braces, one of them might be too long. I can't remember which on was long through.
 
I'm planning to order just one kit (2 bolts) of the 72265, since I haven't had issues with toe from what I remember. Any reason I should need a toe kit, for example if the change in camber affects it past what can be done with the OEM bolts? I don't have that lower brace anymore, so I should be able to get away with the 72055 in that case. I'm ordering on Amazon with free shipping, so I'm not as concerned about ordering all at once, but I'd rather just get the alignment done at not have them say they need new bolts, then have to order.


Also, the PDF about the install that no longer works was re-uploaded here: http://www.batit.com/forumpics/spctoeboltinstall.pdf

The camber arm is what the spring mounts into, right? Those work when you go to true style coilovers, then you can get lockout bolts for the camber bolts and adjust camber with the arm. That's what I would want to do but, we have the spring there.

I just wrote about this on another thread.. Has anyone tried the kinetix camber and traction arm? I feel like that would be better off than the bolts..

I believe ours are not the same size. Rookies has them i think but he extended them custom

I do have true coils.. I just want to make sure it fits.. According to the site it does but I'm not sure

What brand are true coilovers in the rear?

I don't know if u mean anything different but I have bc coils.. Anyways the kinetix kit should replace the traction n radius arms on out cars in the rear and make me act like an adjustable tie rod end

I must've misunderstood what you guys said, sorry
 
BC is not a true coilver in the rear. I'm pretty sure the camber arm replaces the spring bucket mount which you won't need with a true coilover in the rear. Then you buy lockout bolts for the camber bolt location to prevent them from slipping, and can adjust camber with the camber arm.

I might be wrong about this though, trying to adapt stuff from the 350Z, which is very different in the front, not sure about rear. I'm basing most of this off of Rookie's first post in there that shows that the camber bolts are used to mount the spring bucket.

This suggests the opposite though, and I'm not sure who to believe. Viet has done a lot of work, but Jason who had made this is pretty damn smart too.

*FOR A 350Z, our shock mount is different(the blue rod)*

From this thread: http://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension/482664-suspension-101-a.html

Looks like the camber bolt and camber arm are independent of each other, or this is showing camber arm and toe bolt. I'm seriously wondering if Viet's pic with the subframe has the camber/toe bolts backwards.

ok, after doing some more research... i've come to the conclusion that it is suggested that you get the adjustable camber arms only and use toe bolts and file that area for more adjustment room.. As the diagram Stu put up.. The reason why is because if you change both the traction arms and the camber arms you run the risk of completely knocking out of whack your suspension geometry and having too many points of adjust-ability..
 
This is all way too confusing haha. I just decided I'm going to call a track shop near here and make sure they have the SPC bolts in stock and just take it to them for everything.
 
take a look at this video.. its the spc extreme camber kit which covers camber and toe.. uses the camber arm for camber adjustment and toe bolt only for toe, but requires filing the toe area http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwLk_JlZVEU

it is really confusing, but im at a point that im noticing wheel hop in the rear due to toe being off.. actually kinda annoying

i guess i'll be seeing if these things work.. i just bought the kinteix camber arms and i have a bolt kit i bought a little while ago... I need to buy the drill buts to slot the toe section
 
From the DIY:
Use a Dremel tool with a #115 high speed cutting bit to make this cut. It is the perfect size, and cuts the aluminum like butter. Any drills or hand files will only make a mess, and take too
long…trust me, I tried them all.

My observation is that these arm will not work for us. The bottom of our shock seats on the oem arm and these SPC arm doesn't have any mounting for the shock. Remember the rear coilovers on our cars is not true coilovers since the spring/coil is not over the shock like the front coilovers.

According to what I got out of it is that it replaces the radius rod which will only affect the camber.. I still have to change the toe bolts and slot it in order to change the toe.. I guess I'll find out
