are you dropped? if not a normal alignment will be enough, but the front right camber will be out of whack because it is factory set and can not be adjusted. Only thing to fix that would be a front camber kit.

^What??? Tiger you are full of useless posts.

Anyway, OP at stock height you can pick up SPC adjustable a-arms to correct the front camber issue. You will lose some handling adding positive camber to the factory settings with an aftermarket kit, but this won't matter much unless you plan on tracking the car. An SPC front camber kit will also work fine on getting you back to spec after a drop on Tein S-techs. To answer your question about the springs you will need to let us know one of two things. 1. How low was the drop on the sedan with these springs? (or) 2. What is the part number? You can look up the number on Tein's website I believe.

Sam, when you get your alignment done what does the mechanic tell you upon completion? If it's within factory specs that's about all you can hope for. If you lower your G the camber/toe kit (front & back) are needed so you won't be eating tires....

yea i know thats why iam asking for suggestions on kits....iam newb in the g35 world so im kinda tryna gather as much information as i can so i dont end up spending money on garbage or stuff i dont need....i do the alignments myself on the alignment rack on school with my instructor but the g35 factory adjustments for camber and toe in the rear are not enough due to some frame damage it recieved.....but iam hoping with the proper parts i will be able to get that little extra room for adjustment
