I had Bridgestone Winter tyres on my car and replaced them with four Falken 452's. Wow, what a difference, they are awesome. They grip so well, are great in the wet and are a lot quieter. Very happy. :dance:

 

After taking off the 3 month old Bridgestones to replace with the Falkens, I noticed a lot of wear on all four tyres.

So I have just been down to 'Elite Direct' in Essex to get a full suspension diagnostic check done. It is an amazing place, everyone were nice and extremely knowledgeable. They also had some awesome cars booked in including a Skyline GTR33.

 

Note: I have Tein Coilover height adjustable suspension.

 

The results of my suspension is as follows:

They said the camber and toe was out and the carster was out alot too. They fixed the Toe and adjusted the camber as much as possible.

As for the Carster, they said I need to buy new adjustable Carster rods. Apparently, the Carster makes the car pull to one side (in my case to the right), which it does by a tiny amount. Not enough to worry about.

 

Anyway, out of interest does anyone know of these Carster rods i.e. makes, prices and details etc? Has anyone else experienced these problems?

 

Below is the results after they adjusted the toe and camber:

The camber is still out by a degree or two, but they said 300zx's are prone for this. What do you think?

All lowered zed's will have camber out of adjustment.

 

Smithy sells all the adjustable arms you need:

front upper arms for front camber

front tension rods for front castor

 

I think rear camber is adjustable with the stock upper arms
