Hi,

This is going to be a noob question but, I've been doing some research and it seems that its better to have camber with after market suspensions. Now I'm planning to drop it at least just 1 inch. Would I be able to use the after market suspension with the stock camber or would I have to upgrade it as well? And any chance you guys have time, which kind of coilover kit would you guys prefer? I'm thinking about having it more stiff.

 

Just 1" stock camber kits should be fine.

Coilovers completely depends on goals and price.

You really need to do more searching, there is a ton of info on all of your questions and I'm sure you'll find all your answers if you spend some time reading.

 

You may or may not need a camber kit, plan for the worst. Go through the stickied threads in the suspension section since one has a listing of coilover specifications.

 

So technically the stock camber won't work with the aftermarket coilover? And I would need to upgrade those as well?

 

I'm saying there's a 50/50 chance you may need camber kits, so have money in reserve in case you have to purchase them.

 

The v35 has no stock camber adjustability in the front, only toe. Camber is adjustable in the rear (as well as toe).

It depends on how much you lower your car and how you drive. If you drop it 1" you'll end up with i think between -1 and -2 degrees of camber in front and rear. For the rear camber, it depends on your particular chassis; how its been flexed and bent over the years. You might be able to get it in spec, you might not. Same with the rear toe, which is more important than camber for tire wear. You really want to make sure your rear toe stays within spec, and the aftermarket toe bolts aren't too expensive.

What camber gives the best tire life also depends on how you drive. Do you currently wear out your tires evenly? which part of the tire to you wear out first?

As for coilovers, stiffer does not mean better. You should consider your goals and budget for suspension. Looks? Performance? impressing your friends with a nauseatingly uncomfortable ride? a lot of the options out there will probably give you worse performance.
