Camber Adjusters

[Mr Morse]

I'm just looking at the Cusco site for an adjuster to correct the camber for my rear drop can can see two different items:

Adjustable rear upper arms (two views)

Negative camber upper A arms

Which one do I need

The UK distributor tells me they are parts for the Tezza - will these fit my IS300. They are a special order only and they won't take them back if they don't fit

[Colin P]

well, I have the negative upper arms, haven't got them put on yet though. Pretty sure Matt has these too on one of his cars!

haven't seen the others before though

[Zee007]

Get the negative uppers. They will fit the IS3 and IS2 aswell as the tezz.

Negative camber upper A arms

Mat has these on the drift car ..............

[Mr Morse]

Thanks guys, just got them ordered

6-8 weeks delivery time though, hope my tyres last that long! :tsktsk:

[Colin P]

how much did you get them for?

Were not cheap £275 + VAT, but with good tyres at £140 a corner I gotta do it

[Colin P]

wow, mine were around the £250 mark, could have got you some for the same!

Sorted - cheers Colin! :D

[Monster-Mat]

you getting these for the rear, if so, you cannot get them for the rear, only the front

[Colin P]

so can you reccomend these then matt? does it sort out the front camber issues 100% on a lowered car?

[Monster-Mat]

yes i recomend them FOR THE FRONT, i have them on both the drifty car and the Monster...

on the monster to correct camber issues, on the drift car, to induce Camber

[Mr Morse]

Mat / anyone

So what can I use to correct the rear camber - it's the tyre wear I am most concerned about?

i am working on this at the moment.........

it may take some time though

[Mr Singh]

I'm in the same boat.

However... If i correct the camber i will rub and can no longer have tyre tuck all round... Front tyre is almost All in the arch, infact my arch is begining to create its own lip :o

I think i will be buying shares in rubber lol

[MacRS200]

No probs for me on the front but rear has excess neg camber but not too worried at the moment as at least it's in the right direction from a handling point of view!

As regards tyre wear, I am due to to visit the Dr for a check up in the next few hundred miles so will see then.

[Mr Morse]

The Cusco UK distributor quoted me a price of £275 + VAT for these, total £323 with a lead time of 6-8 weeks!

I was able to order them through

JapanParts.com

for a total price of £219 and a lead time of 15-20 days!

The ordering/paying process is a little convoluted but with a saving of over £100 well worth it! :D :winky:

Thanks to Colin P for the tip

[Colin P]

no problem Mr Morse, I told you about the weird ordering system!

[Mr Morse]

These parts arrived only 7 days after I ordered them - excellent service from Japanparts! :D

I was hit with a £36 duty/VAT bill but saved a total of £66 and 7 weeks on the lead time quoted by the UK distributor

Highly recommended! :D :D :D

"no" i have looked/ phoned and surfed and i cannot find any rear adjusters other than a off-set cam bolt, but this bolt is not suitable for fitment in an active bush ie: rear wishbone.

i think 30mm is the limit you can drop, and still be within the tolerances that the stock adjusters allow

the lower you go the more they become out
