So far, no. Don't quote me on that though. I have the tanabe DF 210 springs that drop me a 1 1/4. That put my camber at a -2.2 all around the car. The rear camber kit broght me to a -1.7 w/ out the toe bolts. Now that i motified the toe bolt area i might get my negitive camber to a better number when i go in on Wed. My front is -1.9. Just a little bit out of specs but good enough.

I thought oem 350z springs you wouldn't need a camber kit. Turns out I do.
For some reason too seems like I'm a tad lower than a few other G's that run the oem 350z springs, yet my shocks are perfectly fine- not blown .

odd. I might as well just get tein s-techs if I get a camber kit. Can't get coilovers since I don't want rust and stuff to build up after winter since this is still my daily.

^why would coilovers cause your car to rust? Our cars already have a coilover in the front, it's just not adjustable or anything.

^ he's talking about the the coils rusting and making them a bitch to adjust, he's obviously never heard of vaseline.

You don't NEED a camber kit for any springs.

If you're only gonna drop the car a half inch, don't waste your time.

I heard of parts of the components rusting from people driving their Gs in the winter, etc?

Just what I've heard.

if you have a coupe on the OEM 19's, then you could use a camber kit w/your factory setup, LOL.

^ that's a closer to 0 than stock...

Stock camber on these cars is almost a half degree...

Edit; wait were you referring to the toe?

depends on how **** you are about your cars geometry.
Depends on what kind of tires you use
Depends on what kind of driving you do
Depends on many things.

If you **** about your cars geometry........YES you need a camber kit with ANY aftermarket springs

If you run soft tires (Toyo) YES you need a camber kit cuz they will only last 5k

and on and on it goes.
