What exactly are you dropped on? I'm trying to gauge if switching spacers in the front will affect me bc my drop isn't that low (dropped on s-techs). I'm actually switching from 20/25 to 25/30, but i'm on g37 rims, not g35 so the offsets are a little different.

I know longer have my coupe.. sig.


But I did have Z RSR springs.

they sat about the same height as your springs. but softer spring rates.

with the g37 rims being a higher offset, depends on what your tire size is.

but.. since your on g37 wheels, are your running 245/275 tires? what size are your tires?

I once had plans to run g37 oem wheels.
my plan was 245/275 tires and I think 25mm spacers all around and a fender roll. (I dont remember the offsets now)

Ah ok I completely missed your sig.

Right now I'm running F:245/35 and R:275/35 hankook v12's

offsets on the rims are +43 and +45 and I have a rear camber kit + fenders rolled. No camber kit in the front though.

Dang, I was just checking out the offsets of the g37 and g35 (I had forgotten the offset on these) and the 37's suck compared to the 35's lol. Thank god for spacers.

go with the 25 spacer all around and adjust from there if needed. But I think you'll be happy after alignment.

no camber in front shouldn't be anything to worry about. only thing is the fronts wont have the flush look, cause camber of course will need to be added.

and while your add it. Do the spring mount mod and cut about 1/2 inch, you'll luv the look even more.

I cringe every time I think about the idea of spending 400$+ for a front camber kit alone so I doubt I'll ever be getting one. I'll give 25mm a try all around and see how it goes from there.

You think 30mm in the back is too much?

30mm in the rear is good. But if you're going to drop it, then you'll need a rear fender roll.

For the rear, I would say 25mm to 30mm is dead on with the fender.

No drop, then go 25 all around.

Hit up MrWong, vendor here and he has one of the best prices. Are you in Socal? if so, the price will be even better.
I'm not in Socal but I would still like to get a price quote. I will hit him up w/ a PM. Thanks for your help.

So I measured w/ a measuring tape and the fronts measured 3/4" from tire sidewall to fender and the rears measured right at 1". I would think w/ these measurements that 20mm in the front and 25mm in the rear would be ideal. What do you guys think?

go with the Ichiba front camber kit. It's like 2-something shipped... I think. I had it on my coupe. adjustment is +1.5 and -1.5

you can go 25/30 with no drop and no fender roll. Another member here has done it and it cleared with no rubbing. (stock height)

20/25 is the common setup and best fits without any future issues, like lowering the car or having full load.

20/25 is probably the best combo at stock height.

I'm lowered with a wee bit of added neg camber front and rear, and currently have the 20/25 setup. I wish I had 25/30 now. 25/30 should be just right, and not make the rim stick out past the fender, but have it close to flush.

I ordered some 20/25's the other day, and now I'm on the hunt for some coils and camber kits. I plan on going low. I'm hoping no fender rolling will be necessary.
