Neffsters, do you know if my rear outer toe arms will affect the camber at all? Becuase my right one is worn out and is being fixed by infiniti next week
car looks great man...the G has a very negative rear camber straight from the factory....this will cause premature tire wear, and we can't rotate tires front to rear due to diff tire sizes...having said that, i would recommend (and I will do right away for my G35) getting a rear camber kit even if you don't lower the car....this will definitely lengthen the life of those expensive treads....and just FYI, they aren't called toe arms, they are tie rods....and they don't affect the camber, just the toe measurement, but only in the front...they connect to your steering rack or gearbox...in the rear, it's a diff piece and called something else (I can't remember, but I think there are a few diff names)....anyway, car looks hot...

I wouldn't even worry about the camber settings on the car, it is not that off. As far as the drop, it looks good..i just got my Eibachs installed last week, and from your pics, I think my car sits a little lower. My front end is just above the front tires and the rear end has about a finger space between....The ride quality is SLIGHTLY stiffer, but still an over great ride, almost like stock. Handling is SICK, I can take ridiculous turns....Im keeping my stock wheels/tires, so my summer upgrade is going to by upgrading the tires to a 140 treadwear Michelin tire...those babies will have me glued to the ground...looking good though!!

IS300TOG35- Your -2.08 is in degrees, right? you're fine. The pict you show
with the rear wheel, car looks like its just about where it should be.

also, on the streets, you won't be able to tell a difference between -2.00 and
-2.08 if that value is indeed in degrees.

what are your other measurements?
front camber
front total toe

rear total toe

Are you going for performance or just want your tires to last a long time?

Kenchan, I didnt get a print out this time... i asked if everything was in factory spec and all he said was "the left rear camber was maxed at negattive two O eight (I assume he meant -2.08 in degrees) He said he set the right side the same. He went on to talk about the outer toe arms being replaced and told me to come back in a month to check out the specs. Im willing to sacrifice some handling to get a bit more life out of my tires, but I dont know the best route to go. Ill guess ill figure it out when i see the final specs of my suspension and go from their.

IS300TOG35- aggressive toe-in will kill your tires more than neg camber, so it's a
good idea have the toe measurements next time.

I usualy target 0.08 to 0.10 front and 0.29 to 0.31 rear total.

I just copied that into notepad and printed it for when i bring the car back next month... thanks man!

Oh, and just for ****s I photoshopped the rims that should be on my G by the end of May... let me know what you think (they look like 18s i sized them to my stock rims, but im getting 19s)

Are these springs much lower than the G35 H-Techs? I have the G35 H-Techs, but from the pics the drop looks the same as mine.

Does lowering your car void your warranty? Does anybody know? Thanks. I want to get some G35 H Techs as well, its a deeper drop then the S Techs correct?

that's gotta be the best rim photoshop I've ever seen....nice job!! I know where to send my wheel pics when I need em....you should get a pic with the same angle and distance when you get the real ones on and post it up here to compare...

IS300TOG35 - Thanks for posting the pics w/stock 18's.

I've had my springs in the garage for over a month now and waiting on a good warm day to tackle the job.

Car looks hot! and hotter w/the rims. IMO perfect drop. Should have come from the factory w/these springs.

Nice!
