Lowering my G? Camber Question

Ok....so I've finally done pretty much everything I'm going to do to my car except install the Swift lowering springs (F: 1", R: 0.6") I purchased for it. The only reason I haven't installed these springs yet is b/c I think my car already sits low enough as it is. It seems that the rear sits lower than the other stock G35's I've seen on this forum and I was wondering what you guys think!

I'm currently offshore, somewhere off the coast of Sri Lanka so the following pic will have to suffice for now!

Is it just me or does my car sit lower in the rear that normal for a stock G? The ride quality is great and I've already had to roll my rear fenders b/c I was rubbing in the back (20x10.5 w/+20 offset and 285/30 tires)! Should I just say screw it and put the springs on anyway?

I'm also looking at doing a rear camber kit now that I'm pretty much certain that I need one. My question is whether I need just the rear toe bolts or do I need the toe arms also? I'm not lowered much so I don't think I need the arm also but I could be wrong.

What do you guys think?

Right now my plan is just to get the Eibach rear toe bolt kit and be done with it, but I'm not positive its the right way to go!

from the way the pics look your ride is already lowered.

a stock G on 20's would DEF. look 4x4 ish... not so with your pics bro.


you may want to peek in there and see if the springs are a different color and/ or what brand name is printed on them.

That is exactly what I was thinking! I haven't really looked too closely at the springs but they look like stock from afar!

they may be eibach prokits. (black/dark grayish looking spring) They tend to be lower in the rear.

I'm definitely going to check closer when I get home! If necessary, I'll pull them out!

Well...I'm pretty sure my car is lowered and now I've decide to put a camber kit on the rear.

The question I have now is whether I need just the toe bolts or do I need the camber arms also? My plan is just to get a set of Eibach toe bolts for the rear since I don't have much of a drop and don't feel like the extra degree of adjustability is necessary.

Any suggestions would be truly appreciated!

def get the camber arms as well as the toe bolts. The stock camber adjustment range isn't very good, not to get you back to optimal specs
