Camber kit...specific

I have an 06 coupe 5AT.
Lowered on 350z Tein H Techs riding on the OEM M Sport Wheels with 235/35/19 tires front and 255/35/19 tires rear. All four wheels have +25mm spacers.

My rears in IN spec and my fronts are out of spec. I don't do crazy driving...just really want to save my front tires this time around. What camber kit would you guys suggest? Is a camber kit the only thing I'll need?

you'll spend more money on a front camber kit than 2 sets of tires lol

but, the SPC front a-arms work well! I have them and my camber is within spec

Other Options:
350Evo and SPL Parts.
Both very good Suspension pieces but are pricey!

-1.5 isn't that bad at all. SPC's should do the trick, even without the spacers.

Hell, I wish I was at -1.5...or even -2.0!

cool beans. Yeh the major part about the excessive tire wear is the road noise that gets louder and louder. Sooo I think that the camber kit will help it.

Thanks for your help guys!!! So install the camber kit and then put the wheels on and then it should go into alignment specs?

No, you have to go get it aligned. Simply installing the kit will not align itself.

you'll have to get a front end alignment once installed

I don't remember where you live, but u can take it to townfair tire in Saugus on route 1...they do a good job and have planks for lowered cars

Damn you have to get a front camber kit on 350z H-Techs too? I was going to put these on but I don't know if I really want to spend a lot on camber kits just to achieve a mild drop...

My drop is pretty mild and I like it like that but my fronts are cambered slightly. My rears are fine. Its not completely necessary. at a 1.5 degree negative camber...You can get the 350z H Techs and not get the camber kit. I'm just doing alot of other suspension work so might as well do it too.
