I am deciding on suspension components and I can find what the drop limits are for the factory adjustments. I really only want between 1"-1.5" will I still need adjustable control arms and chamber bolts? I have seen arms for sure between 1.8"-2" but nothing about the chamber bolts.

for a 1-1.5" drop you can buy the bolts for the rear to get it in spec anything more and you need arms too. you will need probably need A-arms for the front if you go lower than 1" up front

 

Thank you that is what I needed to know.

 

I have a 1" drop (Z/Coupe springs) on my sedan. the camber on front and back is 1.2 degrees. I get some inside tire wear, but it's nothing I can't live with.

 

1 1/2 inch drop your going to need a camber kit if you want to be in spec. OEM can only do so much which isn't enough.

 

Anything over 3/4" is recommended to get rear camber arms, toe bolts, and front adjustable camber arms. Yes there are cases of people getting by and doing the run around, but why live on the edge? If whoever can align your car can dial in your toe as close to zero, then you will be fine.

 

That's the key. If you can get toe in spec you are good to go, otherwise, it's tire wear city.

 

Consider the cost of quality tires, then decide how often you want to replace them! Any time you lower our G35s you're going to need a camber kit! The next issue will be finding an alignment shop that knows how to adjust modified suspensions back to OE specs. Stores like Goodyear and Firestone with their life time alignment warranty's don't have a clue.

I get 16-22K out of a set of Goodyear Eagle GTs. Depending how hard I drive.

 

I will most likely sticking to the factory suspension until I can't get any more out of it on the track. I might even go with a larger tire and some wheel spacers to close up the gap a little with the fender.

 

I flip my tires once before deciding its end of life

 

I would do that too, but they are "unidirectional".

 

I think he means actually unmounting them and putting the left front on the right front wheel and vice versa. So they're still going the same direction, but now the inside wear is on the outside. You can't do this with asymmetrical tires tho.
