Negative camber is added to let people fit aggressive offsets!

It's your camber kit. I've been told that they will not get you into factory specs. They are replica Cusco which are mainly for neg camber. You want neg camber if you are going to dump your car and run aggressive wheels. So the folks over at motorsports are correct. If you search the boards, there are many people who weren't able to get back to factory specs with the Ichibas. Better off going with spc.

^+1 If you want OEM specs, get the SPC kit. That kit will give you the most positive camber out of all the kits available for the G.

so Ichiba is full of **** with their adjustment range specs. Maxed out they are worse than the oem arms. I wish the vendors selling them in the marketplace would let people know the are only good for more negative camber that few would want. It's too bad. their rear arms work great and deliver a wide range of adjustment

Anybody want to buy a week old set?

Ditto. I agree with Namrock and G35Papa. The SPC kit will give you positive camber because they offer additional shims. However look into the 350evo kit or the SPL kit which was mentioned earlier in this post.

I contacted the vendor I bought them from in hopes he will take them back or do an exchange for the spc kit since these definately don't do what they are advertised to do. Vendor was pretty good about the initial sale so I am not going to mention which one until he responds.

There's been issues with bottoming out on the SPC kits as well depending on how lowered you are. I had issues with them but I was lowered more than 2" all around. FYI

car is on tein 350z s-techs. about 1.5" when new and probably have settled to about 2" after 3 years.

Heard back from the vendor. I paid $280 for them and he is willing to offer a $200 credit to return them and will sell me the spc kit for $380. So basically it costs me another $180.
Worth it?

In the long run, yes. You need less negative camber or you will pay more than the $180 in new tires.

Guys here is an example of a customers 350z with the front Ichiba arms. He started with -2.9 degrees of negative camber. He got back to -1.7 degrees. I have sold alot of these over the 3 years of selling Ichiba products. We have done these kits local and Ichiba has tested in CA. They do give positive camber.



Please pm me if you have any questions about the Ichiba arms.

Thanks
Charles
