Think I get can away with rears only? If not, are there cheaper fronts that will offer enough positive camber? $400 for front SPCs just seems ridiculous...

 

Did you not get them aligned since installation? If not that is the entire reason you have the uneven wear and problems. Normally under 1" people won't need kits but you still have to get your car aligned... If you haven't been aligned you can either go get it aligned with stock components and see how close you get to stock specs or you can buy a rear camber kit and install it then get aligned.

 

I did get an alignment 2-3 weeks after lowering rather unintentionally. I hit a truck tire on the highway which busted my radiator, bumper, a tie rod, and a couple other minor parts. There's still some visual camber though so I'm guessing some camber kits are needed despite the minor drop....

 

I lowered my car on Z H-techs, no springmount mod with rear camber arms + toe bolt. Waited 2 weeks and did an alignment. Here's my printout. I believe the tech used the 07 Sedan specs but I came home and checked it with the coupe specs and they're fine...

Notice the toe before , lol.... It was very nervous in the snow and twitched quite a bit, almost undrivable.

As you can see, the front camber is off (spec says -1.17 to 0.33) but everything else is almost in the middle of spec.

I used this to compare, not from the printout: http://psedog.com/cars/fsm/g35/coupe...fwd.pdf#page=4

 

wow, you had some seriously F-ed up toe

 

Yea, had them for only 2 weeks since the springs install, and was on winters that are on their final season. So that didn't concern me too much.

 

Wow that was some terrible toe...

I was changing my rear diff fluid tonight and I took a look at my tires while I was at it. The rears aren't wearing very bad on the inside but my fronts are down to the cords due to the camber. The front stock setup allows for some camber adjustment correct? If so, I might hold off on getting a front camber kit but I'm going to go ahead and order a rear camber kit + toe bolts tonight. I need to get new tires next weekend.

 

^ incorrect, front OEM arm has 0 adjustment

 

Crap, I was afraid of that answer. In that case, are there any decent alternatives to SPC front camber arms?

 

not if you want to avoid throwing money down the drain

 

Looks like I'll have to suck it up and go SPC all around. I just don't see how those parts can cost $600. Doesn't make sense to me.

 

The front shouldn't be too bad out of spec, I was only 0.3 off. Yes it's going to have more camber wear but rear tires usually go well the fronts.

Get the rear kit and hold off on the front and do an alignment first.

 

hold on, I forgot the OP was only dropped on z revised springs in the front....yea, no need for front kit for now, you should still be within spec

but get the rear kit

 

If the front is wearing pretty bad on the inside after I've had an alignment, I'm not sure what another alignment is going to do. I'll hold off on the front under the assumption that the first alignment I got was garbage. If it's still out of spec pretty bad, I'll get a front kit. For now, I'll get a rear kit + toe bolts. Thanks for all the info.

 

Well, here's what my tires are looking like as of yesterday. You can see how bad the fronts are due to negative camber. I'm hoping an alignment with my new tires will do something. I have SPC rears + toe bolts on the way. I also ordered my new tires yesterday to have them mounted next weekend. I bought 255/40/19 Bridgestone Potenza 970RE A/S for the rears and 245/35/19 for the front. Anyways here's the pics:
