ok i put my tein s-tecs on yesterday 1.5 drop in the front and .9 in the rear..it looks great..it seems to look like my back is cambering slightly...i havent had my car aligned yet,gonna do it next week..will this take care of the issues? also.. if i need a camber kjit,can someone point me in the direction of a real good one! any help is appreciated...also whats the toe kit i keep hearing about ?

 

You will need a camber/toe kit. My suggestions are Cusco for the fronts and Kinetix for the rear.

I am having a hard time trying to describe toe, but think of it like this...Point your feet forward | |, move your heels out like your pidgeon toed / \, then move them back in like this \ /, now think of your feet like your back wheels. Thats what toe in and toe out is. Get it?

 

^ i don't understand y a drop would cause toe in and out. explain...

 

It shouldn't, but Psycraft asked what it was, so I explained.

 

It's my understanding that unless you drop more than one inch, you can get the camber within spec. True?

 

1 small update,my bud has a bimmer and i was explaing my camber to him and he was telling me that the camber can be adjusted t a shop and i wouldnt need a camber kit,hes car camberd bad when he put his 19"s and a shop adjusted the camber..can this be done to the g35 as well? just curious

 

Unfortunately, the G35 and 350Z have no factory camber adjustment. Most other cars, like your friend's BMW comes with factory adjustments.

 

pics?

 

very soon truplay,i have to wait till my other goodies come in...,im ordering my oem front lip from chad next week,and i got gords 10 wire kit,so when i install those 2 i will post pics...actually you'll see me on the 22nd

 

im talking to my bud about are camber not able to being adjusted,he said he couldnt adjust his either..so they drilled into the struts...does this sound like a good idea?

 

No it's not a good idea to drill your struts.

 

Because the links(arms) that control toe also move when the car is lowered. That movement pulls the wheels out of line relative to toe.

It's the same thing that causes the camber to change.

 

i thought the rear does have a camber adjustment???

 

The rear has Toe adjustment to a point.
I have dropped my car with Tein basics and needed a camber kit in the rear.
I used SPC camber kit which comes Toe and Adjustable Arm.
I went to get the kit installed and aligned yesterday.
My rear camber was wayyyyyyyyy off. Toe wasn't too bad.
My front camber is off less than a Degree and im still debating wether to get Cusco or 350EVO arms.
Cusco from what i have been reading is meant more for negative Camber not Positive.
It only has a .5 range in the positive side and you can get it to .8 with modification.
The 350EVO arms have +3.
I want the 350EVO to get my camber back in specs in the front but at $850 for the set thats alot of money even though i know they are the best quality out there.

 

So there is no camber adjustments at all? Then I guess it would be pointless to take the car in for alignment w/o camber kits, right? I'm planning to drop my car just .5" with Z springs.
