Yikes That makes my SPC Front + Rear Camber kit for $500 look like a steal of a deal

You forgot to take into account however that the tires you listed there for $920.. you'll likely go through them probably once a year. In the long run you will spend more for tires than the Camber Kit (even those expensive Stillen ones lol).

At the end of the day I agree that a rear camber/toe kit should be purchased for any type of drop.. the front is optional depending on the severity of the drop... I went ahead and got both front and rear since I installed coilovers on my ride.

 

+1, thats the best way to do it.

 

I'm terribly sorry I should have been more specific and this thread is about lowering springs, alignment and camber kits. Not about the vast amount of suspension mods I have and yes I'm aware how they work and why. I was in the brake/alignment business for no less than 10 years. My suspension knowledge goes back to my '72 Datsun BRE 510 I had on the track at the old Riverside race track when you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye. Most G35s wear out the inside 1/4s which can be prevented by adding adjustable camber arms lowered or not....fact! When you add lowering springs and get an alignment the tech can tell you how far off OE specs you are if they're knowledgeable. Then you need to decide if you want to spend the $$ on a camber kit now or wait until you need new tires and the kit! If you not lowered you could add the rear camber adjusters and toe bolts but it's not necessary unless you just want to spend the $$....

I paid about $650-700 for my SPC front and rear kits.


OP: SPL and SPC front camber kits will adjust for positive camber, if you plan on slamming you car then go with SPL.

 

If I had a dollar for everytime this questions gets asked id have enough to buy myself something nice.

 

Im maxed out on Tein basics with no camber kit and no alignment for over a year, but only drive 5 miles a day. Lower your car and see what kind of camber you are dealing with.

 

What kind of springs are you getting?

I'd reccommend getting a rear kit w/ toe bolt

 

This is bothering me now.. just got a set of used Tanabe GF210s

Front is a 1.2 inch drop and rear has a 1.5 inch drop. Hope I don't need a camber kit.. damn hmmm

 

You did mention that it was the Perfect way to mod suspension, which i immediatly jumped on because you are feeding people improper information.

Congrats on your knowledge, and thanks for agreeing with me. You have proved that years on this earth really do not equate to the amount of knowledge a person has.

 

The fronts will be border line but your rears are in definite need of the camber kit

 

I can tell you I did about S springs and I tried not to buy all the arms and five it a shot and it isn't happening without them. You might get camber set but toe will go out or visa versa

 

I can tell you I did about S springs and I tried not to buy all the arms and five it a shot and it isn't happening without them. You might get camber set but toe will go out or visa versa. I have ended up doing bushings all the arms and finally the toe bolts. I could pull the camber in but like I said toe would go out. The fronts I hit dead on with arms. The leasin here is unless you want to pay for three alignments and keep screwing with it do it all at once and be done with it. I drive apx 3500 miles a month and went through a new set of tires. Stupid me trying to save money cost myself a whole lot more in the end.

 

whats your drop? by s springs do you mean s-techs?

 

Sorry on my phone and can't edit the words the phone makes up! Lol stupid iPhone

 

Yes S-techs mine was 1.2 in the front and .8 in the rear even with the rear arms and no toe bolts I was sitting at -2.8 and +12 toe. Handles like **** and scrubbed the tires
