what is the quickest/cheapest way for me to get some negative (-) camber up front on my 120y? since i have put hotwires on my car, it looks like i have 1/2 to 1 degree of posative (+) camber. i dont want to go out and spend money on camber tops so i was just wondering if there is a cheap way. im only after about 1 to 1 and a 1/2 degrees of neg, nothing too serious because its my daily.

thanks simon

I think the eccentric bushes are available from K-mac.

You can get adjustable lower arms from maddat but they are around $350, these sort of modifications arent cheap. You can get your struts bent at the stub axle at most suspension good places, they can only bend around 1-1.5

you can get cheap 2nd hand tops pretty easily, or andos makes a good set for $180 or so.
i used s13 ones and swaped them 180 deg around. only gives yo around -1 deg but i too had +1camber before with stanza front end.
andos set gives you more neg, i think up to about 3deg.

When it comes to suspension..

cheap=dangerous.

Change your attitude young man

switching to stanza lower arms and 260z struts is probably the cheapest and safest bet.

notching the strut top is the only way isn't it...

the eliptical adjuustors are aways spoken about poorly.
they loose settings after hard driving, and are prone to slipping if you hit things. Can you even use them on the RWD cars?

suspension is a bad place to go cheap, save money on tires or break pads or maybe oil.
