Horrible negative camber...any (cheap) fixes?

Featured Replies

A previous owner apparently cut a coil or two off my 280zx's front springs to drop it down a few inches. While this looks good, it has been wearing the insides of my front tires at 10 times the normal rate of the outside! So I have 3/4 inch of tread on the outside and I'm down to the steel wires on the inside. Any help? I want to keep the ride height like it is but the camber MUST change. I've heard of shims, strut spacers, grinding slots in the strut towers, etc or I can jus revert back to stock and ride with the front jacked higher than the rear. I don't have the $$$ for quality lowering springs. Any suggestions on past experiences guys? Any help would be appreciated. Mack

Buy new springs and un-ghettoify your car. You'll need/want to eventually anyways, and the money spent on new springs will save you money on replacement tires.

Would be the best way to go.

I belive depending on how bad it is, that you could get the camber adjustment kit from MSA also.
