Oh Ya, and unless you're on the 407, your G will take a beating on any of the bad Canadian roads... 401 sucks, 427 sucks, DVP sucks, Gardier Sucks, downtown f*cked my left driver's side spindel, eglinton sucks. Actually the 407 is the only smooth road I use :S

what happens after you install a camber kit and you decide to raise your car in the winter?

I had teins on my acccord lowest setting and never had any issues but I think running 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 on the G I will have issues if I get Tein Basics?

I raised mine for the winter, and just got another alignment. And then in the spring when I lower it I will get another one. They charge 70 for the front and 40 for the back at W.A. Depends on the height different you might not need to align anyways, but if you look after your car and tires, you'd be getting regular alignments anyways right?

Winters I have 235/40/18 - 245/40/18 and summer I have 245/30/19 - 295/30/19

Not sure how adjustable coilovers help with camber. The adjustability is for rebound and compression not usually alignment.

G35's dont have camber plates FYI

A camber kit is the only way to alter camber on the front of our cars

my bad


my story is pretty fked up on that too.....

i made it home around 10pm, started to back my car into the garage from the street and i hear a loud bang.....the entire left side of my car was leaning on my tire.....i was hanging 1/2 on my driveway and 1/2 on the street. I call up a few friends and the next thing you know is my street turns into the fast and the furious in the middle of the night.

I ended up getting a flatbed around 12 am to get towed to my buddies garage..(20 kms away) at 2am I ended up getting home...the worst part was that I had a interview the next day!


i honestly thought i was a luck ****....5 minutes earlier it could have collapsed on the highway..

Wooh, what do you mean collapsed?? Like the your left front spc broke off? Or your suspension went?

I'm considering getting spc front and back but from your story, a little scared, I won't be dropping it too much however..... I drive a lot DT

What is the best camber kit to get? I always thought it was SPC, but after reading some threads, I'm kinda worried.

With any kind of drop, the toe becomes misaligned as well as the camber. I would be more concerned about the toe than the camber... properly adjusted, an alignment with aggressive camber can be perfectly fine with proper toe.

Negative camber will just result in uneven wear which can be fine since you can always flip the tires, but excessive toe will eat up your tires. On top of that, excessive rear toe can be a safety issue since your car won't be as stable at higher speeds.

I keep getting mixed reviews of which coils to go with it’s between the Basics and Megan street.

I hear for everyday driving Basics are better but Megan offers more adjustability but more of harsh ride compared to the Teins
