^ My understanding was there is a *bit* of adjustability in the rear, none in front.

yikes! so i just have to deal with buying new tires every.. whatever amount of time it takes for them to wear, or get a camber kit... guess i'll have to put that in the co$t.

Does anyone know much wear on the tires will it be? enough to buy a camber kit?

Neither. I was just interjecting a little extra info to make the guy's life a little simpler.

crap! I have an 07 sedan(non-sport) with Tein HTechs and I'm sick of the camber issue wearing out my tires... so today I picked up a set of revised (06 350z) springs to replace the Tein's, but after reading all 23 pages it seems I shouldn't use the rear springs I just bought with my stock non-sport struts and will also still have camber issues, am I figuring this out right? Should I start shopping for some rear g35c non-sport springs to go with my stock struts, HELP please?

did you get an alignment done after a week or two following your tein drop? didn't think they would case camber issues

I bought the car used a couple months ago already lowered on 19's and yes it had a fresh alignment ( he provided the receipt & service records).... it's also my first car in like 10 years (usually drive 4x4 trucks) so I didn't even consider the camber problem until recently when I started getting vibration and road noise, now about 1" of my tires are almost slicks on the insides.

Assuming it's worse up front than in the rear? You may need new arms, after riding on 20's for a year i know i did lol

yeah it's much worse in the front... guess I'll just keep the Tein's, resell the 350z springs and go get a camber kit with new upper arms.... I really love the way my car sits now, I just didn't waana go through the hassle of installing a F&R camber kit... oh well

Car ride is so much better with Z suspension! I'm just about tucking in the rear, need to bring my front down an inch to equal out the drop indeed.

G35guy...

Did you have to do anything with the camber... I think i am going to do the 350z / coupe combo as you have.. looks great.. is that an X? Mine is an X .. I am really new to this whole thing...Anything else I should know before I do it. Also, how much did you drop f/r ... looks like about 1" to 1.5". Nice clean G.

Camber and Drop ??

Hey nice G, looks like you dropped 1" to 1.5" all around. Did you have to get a camber kit? I have a 06, X and I think I am going to do the 350z / coupe combo drop. Any help is awesome.. Thanks,
