It has been couple months since I got Tein H springs for g35c, (with stock shocks) and I just found out that the rear tires are wearing inside!!! The Tein H springs do not lower the car much, ( .7" front, .5" rear" ) and I thought I could get away with this issues because of that, but I guess I was wrong... I am planning to get the Tokico shocks soon, but will that solve the problem????

 

Did you get a wheel alignment three to four weeks after your install? Were the specs within factory specs?

 

I think that the rear tires wear on the inside w/ the stock springs as well. The camber is aggressive from the factory. I have an 04.5' and it seems that there is a little more wear on the inside. I have 6k mi.

If your at or within camber specs don't worry about it.

 

yah u need alignment and no the shocks will not solve the prob. you need a camber kit or toe.

 

camber correction kit

 

i was lookin at suspension parts today and didnt come up on any Tein camber kits? got a link?


Sdkingka start a group buy for front camber, rear camber and toe arms! i'll be first one on the list!

 

Wheel Alignment!!! (I hope you didn't go a couple a months without one after lowering it)

 

yes i did, (after 2 weeks when they were all settled) and yes they were within specs.

 

Not much you can do about it, sorry to say... I'm ready for my 4th set of rear tires at 35K, i've done regular alingments, and I rarely ever burn out, I try hard not too. I can say the Bridgestones I have on now have been the best by far... The ride is good, traction good, and they have been good in the rain also.

About $200 each at NTB

 

ive never seen tein camber kits! anyone got a link? and how much is it going to cost me this time to get everything done right? arg.... i love my g but this car keeps giving me challenges... modding is just becoming a expensive addiction. (someone suggested me that i put back the stock springs... hmm.. i thought about it, and i dont think i want to do that now...)

 

sdkingka,

this is the wear on my stock tires after approximately 7,500 miles on the stock suspension.

 

Follow these steps:

1. Go immediately out and get an alignment.

2. Go out and buy these for the rear. They will get your rear end camber and toe 100% back to stock specs.

3. If your front is -1.7 camber or less, buy the cusco front a-arms for ~$400 (BTW, these arms are big time backordered and you'll have to really call around to find someone with a set in stock). This will get you JUST INSIDE of stock specs (-1.25 worst case and -0.7 nominal). If you want to be at nominal or you need more than 0.5 positive camber adjustment look into the kinetix or 350EVO camber arms. Be prepared to spend well over $400 for these items.

 

Go get an alignment to make sure you're still within stock specs and if you dont have the money to buy new tires then have the shop do a side-side rotation on your rear tires... it'll atleast buy you some time until you can afford the camber kit and a new set of tires.

 

also, the stocks are low treadwear to begin with.

 

yeah man i just replaced my stock tires at 13k miles and the inside was worn a couple of mm further down than the outside. It sounds normal if your allignment is in spec
