Why is using front camber kits rare?

I have noticed that most people get camber kits for the rear. I know front camber kits are available, but cant figure out why its not common. I was thinking about lowering my car on 350z h-tech, which sound like they dont need a camber kit, but i am being pursuaded by seeing some of these other g35 coupes with 1.5-2.0 drops. The looks so nice. Anyways, Im wondering if I get some H&R, Eibach, or any other springs that lower it more than an inch, will I need a front camber kit as well as a rear camber kit? Thanks folks

I know that they are expensive but I often see folks mentioning getting the rear camber kit. It is rare that I hear someone say they are getting a full camber kit for front and rear.

most of the time people dont drop their cars low enought to warrant a full camber kit. in you are only droppin an inch or so you dont really need one for the front a arms. my car is dropped a little over 2.5 inches and i have a full camber system. it just depends on how low you want to go as to what parts you need to buy.

My dilema is getting 350z h-techs. i know those dont require camber kits but i dont know if the drop is noticeable enough. So I was looking for some springs that lower it maybe 1-1.5" less than 2.0". Dont want to do the coilover set up though.

Cool

I have 350Z H Tech and it is perfect for me.
I don't scrape everywhere.
I'm barely in spec on alignment and tires are wearing pretty evenly.

And yes, it is noticable compared to stock.

BRANDO,

if you could post some pics of your h-techs to persuade me, that would be awsome.

toyo t1s(discontinued...now called t1r)...dropped on hks rs and alignment done at west end in torrance. old school alignment shop...does it with an eye...not machines.

instead of flipping...i mite opt to get new tires. bfgoodrich g-force t/a kdw2 sounds good.
