Help with camber arms/plates for Tein Flex Z
Hey guys, I need some help with choosing camber arms or camber plates for my Tein Flex Z coil overs. I recently lowered it, and I’m getting too much negative camber for the drop I want. I was wondering if anyone here has lowered on the same coil overs, and what they used for their camber adjustments. Thanks y’all

Have you done an alignment after installing the coilovers and can you post your specs?
You most likely just need greater rear end alignment capabilities assuming you’re running a reasonable ride height.
You can pick whatever rear camber arms you like Z1, GKtech, SPC, Voodoo, Kinetix, etc.
Eccentric camber bolt lock out kit from Z1, GKtech, SPL, etc.
And SPC toe bolts, likely have a shop install them unless you have the tools to radius the factory toe bolt holes yourself.
That should get your rear end aligned nicely.
If you need front camber arms to return to factory spec then you’ll need to do your research as to how much correction you need and which arms fit your budget.
And remember toe kills tires long before camber ever will.

I’m getting new tires and wheels soon, and I was noticing on the old ones, the inside of the tires were wearing pretty significantly compared to the outside, so I figured I’d get something to adjust the camber.
I’ve heard the Z1 kits are good, I was just wondering if anyone has personally done swim thing similar if they’d be compatible with the coils I’m on now.

In your case ride height will have a greater impact on what alignment components you need vs a particular coilover.
If your toe was in spec all around with -1.5 front and -2.5 rear you should honestly be good as far as tire wear goes. You could get the rear components I mentioned in my last post to bring the rear camber back to - 1-1.5 range.
Cross rotating tires if you have a square set up will also help tremendously or side to side rotation if you’re still staggered and your tires allow for it.
