Is there anyway to get negative camber on a 91 sentra se-r without a camber kit?

Depends. What autox class are you running?

Not sure yet. The only main upgrade is a header.

Cool. How do you do that?

Heh, with a grinder.



Well... since you're not in stock classes, it makes things a little looser... literally.

A quick peruse of the rules (both STS and DSP) tells me while they don't specifically mention camber bolts, they do allow camber plates. So... if you were to use camber bolts, I seriously doubt anyone would raise a stink.

$30 for the bolts and you can get up to about -2° (maybe 2.5°). No grinding and easily returned to stock if need be.

Although, if you aren't adverse to spending a little cash (I think they're ~$200), GC camber plates are THE way to go. You not only can adjust camber but also caster (which is a good fix for the crappy strut suspension geometry).

Not to mention that it's a whole lot easier to adjust (a couple of bolts as opposed to dropping the whole strut) and much easier to get consistent results side to side.

HTH!

Sounds like camber bolts are the way to go! (trying to keep this thing cheap). So who makes them?

Rosen Autosport (http://www.rosenautosport.com)

All of their employees have owned and/or raced SE-Rs. And... they're local. :p

edit: I would reccommend getting the elliptical bolts, they're a little more solid but a couple of bucks more.

I thought b13's could get up to 2* negative camber up front and 1.5* in back stock just by getting the right alignment? Either way, go get the GC camber plates, they let you adjust camber, caster, and toe, they lower the front of the car just a little but keep the same amount of wheel travel. I think they're like $235, but you may need to have the GC coilovers to put them on?? I've never seen anyone with the plates that didn't have the coilovers.
