Input on Route to go with Coilovers
I own a 2005 G35X. I have aftermarket wheels and tires. There are about 71k miles on the car and the suspension is starting to get bouncy and loose. Under a decent speed and the right dip the fender will hit the tire wall on the rear tires.
Here's some information on my wheel setup:
Wheels:
19x9.5 +22 front and rear
Tires:
245/40/19
So basically from what I read a good option would be to step up to coilovers and get a front and rear camber kit and run a little negative camber as well as roll the fenders to solve my issue.
That being said I have a budget of 1500$ maximum for parts. Right now I am looking at a set of BC AWD Coilovers with Eibach front and rear camber kits for about $1500 shipped. I have read quite a decent amount and from what I read BC seems to be the most recommended. I havent read much on the camber kits.
What I am looking for is just a little guidance and recommendations on what to do in my situation. I am not looking to SLAM the car but a modest drop would be desirable.
Thanks!!

For your budget you're not going to be able to afford a decent front camber kit unless you downgrade your coilover selection to something cheaper than the BCs. However, since you have an X I'm not sure what that limits your choices to. The Eibach front kit will not get you the positive camber adjustment you need to get back close to spec, the rears will be fine, and make sure an aftermarket toe bolt kit is included.
The only real choices these days for positive front camber adjustment are the SPL and the SPC front A arms and they are both pricey.
