Camber adjustment

As i am soon about to install my new 350z Tein S-Tech`s and rear camber kit, and toebolts, i would very much like to know the correct measurements, for the rear and front

Just an FYI. After lowering your car your rear camber should still be within spec. It's your fronts you'll need to take care of. I lowered my car with Tein's last year and had really bad uneven wear on the fronts. I just replaced my tires and got a wheel alignment. The rears are fine but the fronts can't be adjusted to get them within spec...so now I'm looking into getting a front camber kit.

proper spec range is the same as it was before you lowered it. You need the camber kit to get back within that range.

My rears are certainly not within spec after a drop.

Depends on how much you lower it. In any case, the rears can be adjusted while the fronts cannot without a camber kit. So at the very least he will definitely need a kit for the fronts. He only mentioned doing the rears, figured it was worth mentioning.

So you guys say that the fronts are more out of spec, than the rear, after installing the 350 S-Techs, and you can adjust the rear some, but not the fronts, without the camber kit

So the tirewear is less in the front than rear?

I don't have a front kit and I just replaced all 4 original tires that had 15k stock miles and 15k lowered miles on them. The fronts and rears were pretty equal as far as wear.

Before the S-Tech G35 Springs, only the rear had badd wear, the front had some wear, but not has bad has the rear (front 20% wear & the rear was like 65-70% wear). What's funny about that is the front has a 1.2 drop & the rear only has a 0.9 drop
