camber shouldn't be an issue. camber won't even wear your tires. i know this *** i work at a tire supplier. even when it
's wearing on the inside edge, it's not necessarily a camber problem. if the toe on your car is where it should be, you can technically run like 1.0-2.5* of negative camber without any ill effects on your tires. have your toe brought back into spec if your worried about tire wear. other than that, camber makes your car have more overall grip in the turns.

I`ve got whiteline camber bolts installed on my N14 which shares the same suspension as a B13, infact arnt all the front suspension setups on these cars the same from 1991 to 1999??

what is your problem?

Yes, make sure they set toe to Zero degrees.

FINALLY!!! someone who understands it! I've been saying this for years on this board...

So what is the problem? Not enough camber or too much? On a strut based suspension you can never really get enough camber.

While we're at it, before I knew better - from folks like BigB, stuck a set of camber bolts in there, which is generally acceptable for street but will apparently NOT stay put for autox. One of these days we'll find a camber plate setup that'll stick on top of my AGX's. Brian, yours fixed yet??

^^^lol^^^ for anyone who uses camber correction bolts please refer to "tirerack.com" look under suspension products. as you will see all bolts sold to correct camber come wiht a nice warning that they are not to be used on the track. camber bolts are notorious for slipping. nothing worse than having the loaded wheel suddenly move while cornering!!!! can we say pillowball mounts???
