Our G35s came with almost zero adjustability in the suspension. So if you make any changes you'll need to install rear toe adjusters and upper a-arms that are adjustable to bring your alignment back to OEM specs. It doesn't matter if you use the Tein H tecs or the S tecs the above will be needed so you won't go thru tires. There's nothing worse than hearing the tire ROOOAAAAAAAAAAAR we've experienced when the fronts are being eaten away, and it doesn't take many miles....

no you won't. I have 350z s-tech and 20mm spacers all around. No rolling, no rubbing.

I have a rear camber kit but not a front. You'll need the rear but can probably get away without the front. I got 30k out of the stock bridgestone crap and 15k of that was dropped with rear camber only. Fronts and rears both needed replacing at the same time.

I am dropped on 350Z S-tech's and I have 275/40's in the rear on a rim that's +20 offset and I don't come close to rubbing. I have camber adjusters in the rear but none in the front, they were still able to get the front camber into spec without adjusters, though not QUITE as far in spec as I would like, but it's still good.

Oh, it's definitely not too aggressive, just trying to say that I don't rub. Not sure what the specs would be exactly for the setup he's talking about, but if nothing else my setup could be a bit of a base point ya know?
