Thumbs up Front/Rear SC camber kit...

Just as a heads up, we should be receiving the Daizen 92-00 SC300/400 camber correction kits by the end of the week.

Also if there are any questions pertaining to the product, please post them here and I will try to answer them as best I can!

I was thumbing through the factory service manual the other day and one thing that caught my eye was that it appeared that camber is adjustable with the oem components. At least in front. Am I wrong?

It is fully adjustable via the lower arms, but only within a certain window. Each of the lower arm mounting locations (both front and back) have eccentric washer bolts that can adjust the camber/caster, but these cars (especially in the rear) have negative camber problems, especially so once they are lowered.

This kit basically adjusts the mounting for the upper arms, which allows you to have a new window of adjustment to try to get everything back into spec.

Not sure what you are asking, but this kit gives back around 1.5-2 degrees of camber.

Is there going to be an adjustable camber kit for the coilover people?

Camber adjustment is separate and unrelated to which springs/shocks you have in the car. Too low of height simply causes excessive negative camber, which this kit fixes by a couple degrees.

So this camber/caster plate doesn't replace the top perch?

Same kit for OEM and coilovers? I have to see pictures to believe this

Or is it a piece that fits to the factory camber adjustment?
