Im going to drop my 04 coupe of df210 springs! Do i need front and rear camber kit or just the rear? If I need a front camber kit what one should i get?

 

If you go more than 1.2" in the front you will need a front camber kit. You will definately need one for the rear

 

You don't NEED it, but for the sake of handling and tire wear, you should get both front and rear camber kits for those springs. If you do any significant amount of driving, the camber kit will quickly pay for itself in a year or two in the cost of tires.

I have SPC front and rear, some people prefer SPL front and SPC rear.

 

It's not necessary for handling, but tire wear is different, I actually would say don't get the camber arms at all and get toe bolts in the rear and you'll be fine. Some negative camber in the rear doesn't hurt and it will actually help you out in terms of handling, cornering, etc, but it's not like all that many of us actually drive our cars that hard all the time anyway.

Toe bolts will cost you about $40. The toe is your main culprit, not the camber.

 

I'm dropped on 350z H-Tech and I ran for a couple weeks without a camber kit, just alignment. When I got aligned after my front and rear kits, the handling was noticeably stabler and more precise. Probably has to do with a larger contact patch? I dunno, but I could feel a difference.

 

When you are cambered more, to a certain extent, you gain contact patch when cornering. When you lower the car, your car cambers naturally, this also affects your toe, if your toe is off and that can affect handling a great deal. Not much camber can be adjusted through OEM parts, toe on the other hand, is a bit more friendly.

 

My case wasn't specific to just cornering, the car felt more stable in both cornering and highway driving when I had my suspension settings back within OEM spec. In any case, whether it be camber or toe or a combination of both, I think we are on the same page. The OP needs to do something to address the camber/toe issues when he does a fairly significant drop like those Tanabe's.

 

Yep, agreed

 

Thanks!!!!!!
