Smile G35 coupe Restoring Suspension

I just bought a 05 G35 coupe that was lowered with eibach lowering springs 1.1 inch drop in the front, 1 inch in the rear. It has 19 inch afttermarket rims ,what would be the best way to raise car back up. Should I find stock springs or use coilovers??... Currently the back tire on the inside approx 5 inches is wearing very fast. (too much negative camber) or should i keep it lowered and get the a rear camber kit. Front tires seem to be wearing ok

I rather not have the car so low to the ground as im afriad of scraping or ripping the Exhaust off.

no, with the oem suspension you will be in spec. Might want to get an alignment anyway but you wont need to get adjustable cambers.

I would leave it Lowered and get a camber kit and an alignment. That would probably be the easiest way. But thats just me.

If the inside ~5 inches of your tire is wearing your toe is off. Camber usually only affects the inside 1-2 inches of the tire.

As far as raising it back up, just pick up some OEM suspension.

If you're not into modding, definitely just pick up OEM suspension. In regard to the tire wear, you may just have a bad alignment.
