2004 sedan suspension

Hello guys i have a 2004 sedan with 350z springs, i have staggered
wheels and i am tired of replacing my semi worn tires and dont want the
expense of front and rear camber kit.
im looking to go back to stock but i sold my factory sport springs, can
anyone recomend replacement springs with stock height or aftermarket
that dont lower.
or anyone have stock sport springs.

Thanks James

My sedan is on 350z springs, and the alignment is within spec without camber kits. The front camber is borderline, but -0.8° isn't much camber (coupe and 350Z have higher camber specs). Toe is much more likely causing your tire wear. The closer you can get that front toe to .08° the better for wear. What did the measurements on your last alignment look like? Are your tires wearing out the inside faster, and are you have trouble with the front, rear, or both?

I'll be totally honest with you. I'm at stock height right now and I used to suffer from feathering on the front tires and wear on the inside of my rears to the point where I rotated them every oil change to keep them balanced. I'm going with 350Z springs all around because it's keeping me relatively close to the stock alignment specs.

Like Brandon said, I would look into what your alignment is right now. Not a cheapy shop like Tire Discounters or Bob Sumerall; take it to a good alignment shop. I have a guy that will dial it in to the tenth of a degree with no range for slop. He's a little more than the regular places, but he is very good and helped me come up with an alignment that will help me preserve my tires.

However, the springs and shocks are going on soon and I'll need to visit him again. Have you thought about ditching the staggered setup and running the same spec on each wheel/tire?
