I want to change the camber on my 99 Verada KH Ei but I dont want buy a new suspension package.
I dont know if the standard suspension can be changed.
Has anyone else done this? Ive had a look around this site but cant find anything on camber changes.
If someone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the 3rd gens camber can't be adjusted without fitting aftermarket camber bolts.

you can pick some up from whiteline (look in the Philcom Rally section).

It isn't really something which should be altered from factory unless you do a lot of high speed cornering. It is also pretty bad practice to use camber bolts, as they do come loose over time.

Adjustable strut tops are the propper solution, but are quite expencive.

I just had my shocks and springs replaced and the guy adjusted the camber by adjusting some nuts under the car i think he added .5 to it, Its a 2000 tj vr-x.

My camber was out by nearly 3 degrees when i bought my car. I was quoted $940 to put 2 camber pins in to fix this problem i was like OMFG. Anyways my mechanic at the time just replaced the old bolts that where holding the rear strut towers in place and put 1.5cm spacers in each side there are 4 bolts per side. Now i only have .5 degree of camber and it cost me $22 for the parts and nothing for labour as i helped PFFT there ya go. Piss easy to do.

dont know if youi want to add camber or remove it..

I had 3.5-4 degrees of negitive camber after i dropped the car lower than super lows after fitting thr 20`s..

Was very limited in options when it come to corecting it.. i cant use the standard camber kit as car was to low and no room.. I had custom lower adjustable arms made to pull the bottoms of the wheels in.. then the issue was the Toe arms where restricting adjustment.. I then had custom adjustable Toe arms made too.. havent fitted them yet but will bring Camber from 4degrees to under one..:)

Something very similar to this as noone in Australia makes one for a magna..:P

You could do it the really nasty way.....

I gave my Datsun 1200 some negative camber by drilling some new mounting holes for the lower control arms in the cross member.
