350 Z Htech .. question for users,please!

My HTechs are on the way. From what I read with with an alignment it seems that my rear will be able to be realigned to spec..... agree or disagree?
It sounds like most are NOT able to return front to spec but quite close. I want to get front and rear to spec. If I am unable to do so do you anticipate the front only as a problem and if so whose camber kit would you reccomend? Could you please "ballpark" me a price I should expect to pay for any front camber kit you reccommend? BTW, I have an 06 Coupe with Sport Suspension.
Also, assume some without camber kits are running just outside factory specs on their Fronts ....... are you experiencing excess wear?
Finally, Should I replace shocks at same time or wait til the OEM's are shot? TIA to all kind enough to help me out!

gdup35sedan just aligned a g coupe a few weeks ago (he works at firestone) that was dropped on z h techs and he says he was able to barely get everything back into spec

besides, a little negative camber wont hurt

yea. rear's are in spec by a couple a degrees, fronts aren't and not adjustable. The camber degree in front is almost the same as they are in the rear. In my opinion camber kit for the front is a must, and I'd probably want to get one for rear too just so i'd be able to adjust it to like -.1 or something just for longer tire life.

spooze, if you don't want to mess with camber kits then go with 350z htech, it's a more subtle drop. doubt it will get rid of your wheel gap though; maybe just decrease it by half an inch. stechs will get rid of your wheel gap but you will need camber kit on front for sure, if not both front and back.

it sucks, and im having the same issue since im debating lowering my car in the spring. you can either do a $250 subtle drop or spend $500+ on camber stuff and lower springs...no cheap way to do a good drop.

or $139 if you do the labor yourself...

besides the camber issue, you also need to take into account overall "drive-ability" of your car with a drop over 1". Will you be able to go over speedbumps? Will you drag or hit stuff on your daily drives (if in fact your G is your daily driver). Those were the things I took into account when I decided on the subtle 350Z H-techs.
