Exclamation Lowered G35 Coupe Tread Wear

Hey everyone, I'm having an annoying issue with tread wear on my lowered G35 coupe. I would say that I have a fairly large drop on springs & the inside of my front tires are wearing out extremely quick, Maybe 2-3 months each tire. I heard that buying a camber kit for the front and back will allow me to get the perfect alignment and get rid of the issue without having to lift the car. I'll be getting coils soon just to lift it a little bit but I still plan on keep it lowered. My question is, Can getting front and back camber arms allow me to remain lowered with little to no tread wear? Near stock atleast? THANKS!

If it helps ease your mind our sedan is lowered 3" on coilovers and is aligned to factory specs on all 4 corners . Tire wear is nice and even. Make sure you get front upper control arms that offer lots of positive camber adjustment like the SPC or SPL brands, a lot of the cheaper brands don't. Rear camber arms are usually good for that no matter what brand and SPC toe bolts are inexpensive and work great to adjust rear toe.

Just make sure you don't buy anything from Ichiba, their products are crap across the whole brand....

You've got your answer, next step will be finding an alignment shop that knows how to align modified suspension after they've installed those adjustable a-arms! Make sure along with the a-arms you get the shims so alignment can be brought back to factory specs!
