this exact question has been asked before.

a couple of people have been able to get back into spec in the rear, but the vast majority has not.

you don't need camber kits...only if you want your tires to last.

go with the spc/eibach rear kit. the front is going to be outta spec. but you can probably live with it.

I've got S-Techs and I was able to get the rear in spec. The front has got a bit of negative camber and it tends to wear the insides of my tires.

i have g35 s-techs

i aligned my wheels myself. my rears cambers are -2.25 (L/R) (still out of spec, but should do) with 0.08 toe i think, i cant remember. the front cambers i cant do much to it, but the toe is .10. dont take my word for the toe (f/r) to be exact, but i remember my rear cambers because i was having trouble aligning them. i had so much trouble i remember what were the numbers i was trying to set it to..

Invest in some rear camber arms, you should be under -1.7 for camber. Your toe values seem good though

no kits, just alignment.

the rear already comes with a camber/toe adjustment. it's a big bolt that's on the lower arm of the rear. it's where the rear springs sits on. i actually was looking at THMotorsports for camber kits (F/R) but i think on the fine print it said that it doesnt support the tein s/h-techs
