Tires

I have the full 06 350z suspension... my rear tires are getting OWNED.... i just put them on and they are almost bald in the back because of the drop i believe...

Any suggestions? Do you think i need an alignment?

Your "drop" is probably causing alignment issues. Camber kit?

you should have gotten an alignment after three weeks of the install

that would have told you if you need a camber kit or not

As was already mentioned you really should get an alignment after you drop the car. The front wheels do not allow for camber adjustment - but the rears do. I dropped my '05 sedan on coupe sport struts, z springs in the front and coupe sport springs in the rear. The alignment shop was able to get the rears right within sedan camber spec.

What really could be causing the tire wear (along with the negative camber) is the toe is probably out of alignment too. By getting an alignment you'll save your new tires in the future (even though these may be shot)...

For more info on alignment and suspension mods for the sedan - search for threads and comments from gsedan35 (resident guru) and gdup35sedan (who works on alignments).

Here is another thread that may be useful:

Here is a good link on overall info for alignments:

Hope this helps!
