Camber Kit needed on un/revised350z springs

I did a search and found nothing. I know it really depends on the car, but is a camber kit ussually needed when I do this drop on a sedan?

I looked at peoples profiles with the 350z springs and i dont see camber kits on their profiles.

Does anyone have these springs and has perfect camber and toe? and is there anyone with it that does have negative camber?

Thanks

I have a revised 350z suspension on my sedan w/o a camber kit. Although I haven't had the alignment measured, I have put 10k miles and 5 track days on the car and the tires are wearing nicely. The drop is minimal which shouldn't upset the alignment too much. I haven't heard of anyone putting a camber kit w/ 350z springs (probably due to the high cost of the kit) and from the research I did before, people who measured their alignment after the install said it was within spec.

I also have a revised 350z suspension sitting in the garage. Hesitant to install it because there is no camber adjustment for the front wheels. How do you like the ride? People say it is almost stock, but I'm afraid it will be a substantially rougher ride.

The difference is small, but noticeable...I've driven the 350z, stock sport, and ston non-sport suspensions one after the other and the difference between all 3 is not significant enough for you to start hating your ride. I'm assuming you prefer a sporty ride rather than a plushy one.

The front feels only a bit stiffer than the stock sport suspension, although the spring rate is the same. The rear is noticeably stiffer and back seat passengers complaints increased until they got used to it. I live in NYC where the roads are brutal and I don't think it's anywhere close to being a "rough ride".

The suspension and sway bar upgrade improved handling substantially...I love the new ride. Highly recommend the suspension upgrade and given how many people have done this swap, I really doubt you'll have alignment or ride problems...and in the worst case, you can swap the stock parts back in.

How difficult is it to install the rear, upper camber bolts? Is the grinding something I could do with a Dremel?
