There are a lot of threads pertaining to those camber kits. Some good some bad. I would do a little bit of searching to base your decision upon. I have the ichiba rear camber + toe and haven't had any problems ..... Yet.

Hate to say it but you probably will. I will never buy another Ichiba product ever again.

Yeah I know. I had their spacers with no issues so I went with their Camber arms before doing enough research. I uncoverd several issues with Ichiba products after doing more indepth research. I left it up to him to do the research and decide for himself since I have no first hand experience with their parts failing (Yet). I can just point him in the direction of the info so he can decide for himself.

In a straight line no camber at all will be better. Tire sitting / (Cambered) rather then | your having some of the tread not make contact with the ground.


Whats your alignment right now, some negative camber is for the corners.

Only way I got my sedan to go sideways is when it was wet with sh!tty tires and in 4th. at 60 mph, Scary man.

I have 275/35/19's on the back of my 06 g35c and in 1st gear I also lose traction and go sideways a bit...however it does depend on the surface you do it on. Fresh black asphalt gives really good traction and hooks up 99% of the time for me. However any other cement even old asphalt will offer much less traction.
If this was happening from 2nd gear for you then that is interesting.

although my rear setup is stock. After removing spare tire,tools I noticed on speed shift to 2nd (6mt)I can light the tires up really bad. Upon checking the camber is rather severe. I do not have no where near stock as I have 2-l/4" (at top of tire)(using level and straight edge) negative camber..nothing is bent but it is easy to see tires are canted out at bottom...the plan is to get adjustable camber bars and set it up stock I believe 1-1/4 degrees neg camb. The tires after 6500 mi are worn bad on insides which probably makes the situation worse. Full throttle starts can smoke the tires on black asphalt. The rear tires are Dunlop DRZZA. I am thinking Yokohama 265-40-18 26" dia 9.5 tread width...hopefully this will do it... anybody here that has set their car up approx. like above let me know the outcome..thanx

I have 100% stock suspension and after getting new tires a few weeks ago I went to a licensed buddy for a 4 wheel alignment. He maxed out the camber adjustment even though it was still visible that negative camber is present.
It did help with traction a bit as there is more tire patch contacting the road instead of the inside of the rear tires.
You can only adjust soo much on the stock suspension, although a little adjustment does improve a bit.
