Swapping springs..
So I'm currently running 350z H-techs w/ SPC rear camber kit..
and recently I realized my front tires are wearing unevenly since my H-techs dropped ~3/8 inches more than theyre suposed to..
so I'm planning on getting the front A-arms to go with it, and while im at it switching to a lower set of springs
SO got a couple questions
1. Is the fact that my H-techs dropped more than supposed to due to my CAR or the SPRINGS itself? I'd like to predict the drop I'd get before buying springs..
2. Are the SPL arms worth $200 more than the $400 SPC kit? I'm not sure if the knocking issues of the SPCs have been fully corrected..

hahaha why is it that i always find YOU REDLUDE to answer all my suspension questions. thanks
I know the SPL's and SPC's give +1 degree of camber adjustment..but the SPC has some spacer that could give more or something like that..so would the SPL's be enough to get a drop of ~1.7 in. back into spec?
I want a drop so that my tires are just at the wheel well, and I dont think the 350z S-techs would be enough for that..which leads me to TANABE DF210?!!?! lol
Do you think I'd get at least 20k miles more with the OEM shocks and the tanabes? Im at 35k with pretty decent roads and I dont drive too aggressively.

don't know about the spring settlement issue, but i've had the SPC front camber kit on for a few months now and haven't had any problems. they fixed the issues a lot of ppl used to complain about - do a search for THMotorSport (or something like that) who did a thread answering ppl's questions on SPC's kit.
whichever kit you go with, make sure they are installed by someone who knows what they are doing. DO NOT GO WITH THE CHEAPEST OPTION - GO WITH THE BEST. someone can really eff up your car if they install a front camber kit incorrectly. also, make sure they install the shims otherwise you won't get full camber correction. this involves removing the rotor so make sure shop knows they are required to do this.

will the 350z stechs be enough to get rid of ALL the wheel gap with normal size tires?
From the pics I've seen theres still like a finger gap all around..which is close to what my 350z H-techs got me..
duno if I wanna risk dropping the car on tanabe gf210 or df210's and then find out my car "drops more" down to the floor
