Since we're on the topic.... The alignment should be done 3 weeks after you slap on the springs? I'm also going to put my new wheels/tires

at the same time my springs are going on. No alignment needs to be done at that time?

Oh and to answer this... a camber kit will allow you to adjust camber. lol, thus reducing any excessive tire wear, thus keeping the money in your pockets.

Yeah there are kits for both F & R. I believe he suggested rears only because the rear tires go out faster than the fronts, but I could be wrong.

I think rears are much cheaper than the fronts for some reason. I remember the price being roughly around ~$150 +/- plus installation (rears only).

This may or may not lead to excess camber wear depending on your driving etc. G35 h-techs may not put you out of spec in the front, but don't expect much of a drop if at all, the springrates also suck. For the rear alignment, 350z h-techs without a springmount mod will usually be back in specs with an alignment, for coupe or 350z s-techs, most people cannot get the rear back into spec. Once again, this can lead to camber wear for some people. My advice? Purchase the rear eibach(SPC) camber kit no matter what springs you install. The kit is relatively cheap compared to tires($150), and will pay for itself much sooner than the front camber kits which are $300+.
How's the G35 H-Tech's sprng rate compared to stock?

What do you mean by spring rate? From what ive heard its not even worth getting h techs b/c they dont even offer a noticeable drop.

I bought the H-Techs but haven't installed them yet. Should I be expecting a much softer ride? I don't know much about spring-rates.
