magnum44 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I have a 83 turbo zx, I have the suspension techs lowering springs, Now , Im getting ready to install some adjustable camber plates on the top of the towers and wanted to know if with my stock struts and (perches) will I have enough clearance to adjust my camber? or am I forced to go with coil overs?....I really don't want to go with coil overs if I don't have too. thanks, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-E Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Well I was just talking to someone who installed camber plates on his Z31 struts with the large springs/perches... he said it barely moved 1 degree before hitting... I don't want to definitively say anything, but I think you're right to be skeptical :\ How much adjustment/correction do you need? What's your camber now?

magnum44 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I don't know, but I do know that with my new tires I installed about a year ago (mind you, I don't drive the z much, it's usually my toy only) my front tires have worn quite a bit on the insides (meaning I have negative camber)...need this fixed...

magnum44 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Im not 100% sure, but I believe I read somewhere that with the large stock perches they will touch the sides and not allow much adjustment just like you mentioned....I want to be 100% sure before I start taking apart ....I don't want surprises...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnum44 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 I want to report , that I just read on another site that someone posted that they put these same camber plates on stock struts and purches all he did was use a 3" hole saw to open an adjustment hole on the engine compartment strut tower for access to the adjusting screws , he claims work well with no problems... I'll post my experience when I do it soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-E Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 If you have inside tire wear, it is more likely toe than camber, but you can identify the difference... camber wear is smooth, scrubbing usually leaves ripples or squiggly edges on the tread blocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
