Depending on how many miles you've driven you will notice the inside edges wearing on both back and front tires. If you installed springs you should have had your alignment done, what did the alignment sheet show and how far from OE specs were you? These are all things you should have discussed with the alignment mechanic. It's relatively simple, if you lower your G35 you'll need the camber kit. If you drive what most people do a year, say 10K miles you'll be buying tires frequently without it....your choice.

Yeah get a camber kit. I had an Eibach Pro kit on my car a long time ago and my camber and tire wear was $hit. Camber kits make it much better!

On a side note, I would save up and go for coilovers! Forget the springs they suck anyway IMO. As soon as I went with coils it was a night and day difference. My .02.

quote if i am wrong, but the rule of thumb is a drop more 1.5+ inches would warrant a camber kit.
