Default S14 rear camber & toe alignment

I have D2 coilovers, just got new rear tires and i have negative camber that i don't want. I'm guessing i need some type of adjustable control arm for the rear right? What is good/safe to go with, and do i need anything for Toe adjustment as well?

I found these so far while looking:

Cusco Rear Camber Adjust Up Arm Nissan 240SX S14 95-98 Mamsparts.com

Circuit Sports RTR-013-HC Rear Toe Links S13/S14 Adjustable


Thoughts/advise appreciated and repped

you could go cheaper than cusco, and still better quality.
look into spl parts, or battle version.
both will be really tough, and have great customer service.
and get the camber, and toe, or your tires will still wear like shit.

With your wheels, I think your going to have to run some camber, but if its a daily its best to set Toe close to 0* since thats the main killer of tires.

And I second tim, but i prefer SPL over battle version.

why with my wheels? and i've known about toe being the reason for tire wear, i didn't know if there was enough adjustment stock to play with though. I searched for SPL RUCA's and only found them for the S13, links please

from my experience of doing quite a few 240 alignments, you should be ok with the stock toe rod's adjustability.

oh you know i just remembered, spl doesnt make an s14 ruca, they sell the cusco. but i would go battle version over cusco. at least if you need to repair a bv. rod, you just call and order parts. no big deal.
there wont be enough toe adjustment stock with the camber set correctly, and toe wears faster than camber.

I thought they were somewhat low offset, if they already fit inside your fenders, then you shouldnt have to worry about camber to much.

ohhh, no i want to get back to 0 camber since this is my daily. I will have to roll/cut the fender lip but i'm more concerned with tire life anyhow. I'm not trying to get more negative for fitment purposes, just trying to correct the negative camber from being lowered with the D2 coilovers.
