Camber Kit

Anyone got any idea what's a good camber kit? I am planning on getting the Tein S-Tech and I was told I should get a camber kit. appreciate your input. Thanks.

Do you have to have Camber kit with the s-tech springs? Those of you who have them, do you have them for the rear or front? Thanks for your help.

as tim would say, you never "need" a camber kit as long as you can live with quicker tire wear.

youre unlikely to get back into spec with s-techs...and even "in spec" isnt optimal. so i'd suggest a camber kit for sure.

most people just get the rear unless they are slammed in the front. reason being that the fronts are very expensive and dont wear as quickly as the rears anyway.

I always thought the front would wear out more quickly than the rear? Especially since the front is dropped about "1.2" and the rear is "about .9"

Wait a minute...

I've been thinking about lowering my G35 coupe as well, and I know I need to get a camber kit whenever I lower a car (from past experiences). So i've been looking in these forums and on e-bay about camber kits and it looks like the SPC rear camber kit consists of just 4 bolts.

This might sound like a really dumb question: but if the kit is just a couple of bolts, what's to stop people from going to Home Depot and buying bolts? Assuming of course you know the correct size/width.

Don't get me wrong, I know i need a camber kit, but it feels like a rip off to pay $70-100+ for 4 bolts....no? Am I just talking crazy? I obviously need some education...haha. so teach!

^as you see in the picture above your post, the only bolts needed is for the toe adjustment. Hence "Toe Bolt" and there is two (2) of them for driver and passenger rears. the camber kit itself are not just bolts... same applies for the front....
