camber correction on an s13
i just dropped my s13 1.5 inches all the way round a few months ago and my camber problem is starting to affect my wet weather driving, anyone know of a good/cheap camber correction kit?

the rears should be adjustable somewhat, but other than that go to www.nopi.com and they have correction kits for the front for like 40 bucks i beleive. i have a major camber problem so iam going to end up spending about 400-500 properly fixing it.

I've looked into this also, and haven't the rear end of the car until I get adjustable upper arms.
The upper arm - subframe bolt is an eccentric bolt and allows for +- 0.75 degrees of camber supposedly. I haven't bothered with it myself and don't think that is enough adjustment at all even though I'm only lowering the rear end 1".

just found out that PDM racing and GMP performance (here in charlotte) both carry decent camber correction kits for the s13 the GMP kit i think is about $20 for the front and the same for the rear. PDM racing kits are a bit more expensive but they are sold by a company that deals with 240's regularly so i dunno but thats what i have come up with

The fronts can be adjusted with the eccentric bolts that Don sells at www.pdm-racing.com . They work and they're much less expensive than camber plates and you don't have to introduce the harshness of pillow ball upper mounts.
The rears can be corrected with the Whiteline eccentric bushings from PDM, or with adjustable rear upper links. The adjustable links can be found at www.heavythrottle.com and I think they sell for $300+ / set. You can also slot the bolt hole in your suspension link and gain a little adjustability that way.
Jonas, why did you lower your car 3"? Please tell me you've got shortened strut/shock bodies.
