Alignment prob > Camber Kit???

Recently I lowered my car with some Tokico Blues + Springs and after balancing my 18's along with an alignment job my car still pulls slightly.

Im thinking it might be the camber that needs to be adjusted but how do you go by installing a camber 'kit'? Do I need a tokico specific kit or will anything for a 4th gen work? Does this kit replace current suspension parts or does it bolt right in? If you guys know of any good nissan camber "HOW-TO's" that would be great, Thanks in advance.

camber "plates" are available from stillen...other than that...all i have heard of is Camber bolts.. but if you have Tokiko blues, you shouldnt be dropped too low, therefore you shouldnt need to adjust your camber..

The stock camber bolts have enough play untill you go lower than 2 inches, THEN you will need camber plates or bolts...

I was thinking the same thing, the drop on tokico isn't lower than 1.5" so I'm in the clear I hope. Thanks for clearing that up and the quick response!

Post your alignment specs and I'll tell you why it's pulling. You should get a print out from the shop.

I paid $20 for some camber adjustment bolts from Eibach. However, the most overlooked thing when talking about alignment is the tires. You have to take a look at your tread pattern too. I have 18's with Kuhmo Ecstas. After alignment, with my 16's, it drives as straight as an arrow. With the 18's, it pulls to the right a bit. Not enough to be dangerous, but there is a slight pull that is not on the 16's. So it is definitley not my alignment.

Let your springs settle completely before you get the alignment done.
