350z Stech's are on!!!

Finally got in my 350z Stech's, Hawk pads and the R1 drilled/slotted rotors. Spent most of the weekend installing these with a friend using the DIY's on the boards which really helped. Overall I am really pleased with how it all turned out. Went from a three finger gap to a one finger gap. Been very pleased with the Rotors and Pads so far. Let me know what you guys think!

Before:

Wish I could take credit for them but there's a dirt bike track close to where I took the pictures...think they are probably responsible for those.

Yeah they are volk gtc 19's...I wanted to let the springs settle for a week or so before I looked at camber kit. Hoping that I can get away with an alignment in the front and camber/toe kit in the back. I'm no expert but from just eyeing it the camber doesn't look that off at all.

Hey man, when you get an alignment, can you keep a note on how much camber on the front and rear on stock arms if possible?

I know you intend on getting camber kits but if you don't, it'd be great to know what the camber comes up to be with no kits and with the 350z stechs drop. Especially since you have a similar wheel size and tires. I was considering these springs .....Unless someone else knows what the camber comes up to be, please chime in.

Went and had the car looked at and the car is about 1 degree further out than oem spec. Front should be -.8 degree but they came out -1.5 and -1.8. Rear should be -1.5and they ended up -2.5 and -2.8. I'm no expert but they advised me to get a front and rear camber kit if I don't want to eat up tires.
