I would like to see this, you are dropped on 350z h-techs?

I don't believe it because it's impossible. There is no way your car is dropped on 350Z H-techs and still within camber spec on either end. There is nothing to fiddle with up front other than toe. So, with a 1" drop (you're car has more), you naturally increase negative camber of which it is not adjustable. When my car was on the OEM springs, there was barely percievable front negative camber. With the Z springs, there is noticable negative camber and if I remember correctly from the alignment print out, it's nearly 1 degree. Out back there's even more. Regardless, I was able to align my car to coupe specs (barely with the camber), but there's no way it could get back to sedan specs. You should recheck your print out and make sure the called out car isn't a coupe.

I'd do a printout, but unfortunately right after posting my comments I sold my springs to a coupe and installed Sedan Tein Stechs.

But just to confirm, it was Sedan spec, I did the alignment myself so I know it wasn't coupe spec.

350z H-techs on a sedan with spacers is not the way to go either. Look why I did the swap in a rush. One bushing was like this, the other was dangling in the middle of the spring. If you drive aggressive spring bushings are a bad idea.

Within the wide oem spec is near worthless as true NOMINAL is what one wants...............the design point not the in spec range for the masses.

Ok. THANKS for all the great info.

I'll keep things OEM and live with the wheel gap. I don't have room for added stress about brand new tires getting worn out quickly - no thx.

Thanks Guys!

I have 350Z H-Tech's and had to buy SPC front and rear camber kits, and I'm still a bit negative but within OEM spec. All the camber **** cost me like 5x more than the actual damn springs.
