Intrax Camber Kits

OK I was looking around the parts sites and came across the Intrax Camber Kits LINK HERE for the 04 & 05 forenza.
I was wanting to know about the 06, Does it need it?

If you have the stock suspension you do not need it as think it would be worthless. If you have lowered your car, you may need it depending on how you use your car.

As far as them fitting on to the 06 models they will fit and it even says in the application page that they will fit the 06 cars. But just so you know the suspension is the same in all model years so far.

Almost no changes what so ever. I hsver some camber bolts, but those go with my lowering Apex springs

I doubt you'll need the camber bolts. Basicly when you lower your car it changes your camber. With stock bolts and all that jazz you can only adjust your camber so much... all the bolts allow you to do is adjust it more. If you have lowering springs on now or about to get them installed ask the shop if the camber is okay after they align it and if you need camber bolts.

I had my car lowered 1.2" for at least 25k miles and never needed them.

I have a complete unused set that I got from 360 before they closed. Never did get a chance to use them because I don't have the Reno anymore. I'll sell them to anyone for cheap. Let me know.

As far as daily driving goes, you probably don't need them, even if lowered. As you lower strut-type suspension cars, you will inevitably get some negative camber (tops of tires point inward towards the center of the car). The camber bolts are a way for you to add some camber to keep the tires flatter on the road.

If you autocross your car, I would say that these are indespensable. From what I've seen on other Renos and Forenzas, lowering springs usually leave your car with about -.5 to -.7 degrees of negative camber. The bolts are good for an additional +/- 1.75 degrees of camber. If I had kept the Reno to autocross, I would have the alignment set at the full -1.75 degrees front and about -.5 degerees rear.

Why run so much negative camber? Mostly to prevent premature tire wear on the outside edge of the tire under hard cornering, usually worse on front tires than on rears.
