for 350z h techs, I actually needed a front camber kit and not a rear. But my oem suspension had about 60k miles on them prior to springs.


minor drop like that I doubt you'll need any camber kits. I can guarantee you the rear wont need a kit.

Yes I was.

Spacers only push the wheel outward, does nothing to alignment.

Camber

Just took my G35 coupe with 19" factory rims in for an alignment and they told me the camber was out of factory specs and that I had to buy the camber kit. They did supply the before and after settings and did not offer the kits (said they would install if I purchased them). After researching this issue, I beleive they are really needed.

I've been looking for a set of these. It seems hit or miss about getting it back into spec but seems like this is the spring to get if you want to chance it without the kit. Its really strange, I've searched so many threads and theres no conclusive answer. Some get back into spec while others dont, it seems like it's just luck. I was looking into the Ichiba camber kit but they don't have an adjustable toe bolt? Also all toe bolts require you to dremel your subframe, which seems sketch to me.

Ichiba have a camber kit that includes cambers and toe bolts.

All toe bolts require grinding of the toe hole to for aftermarket toe bolts. It allows for more toe adjusting.
