I have heard a few cars with air bags and the compressor can be loud man.

OK guys all help/advice/suggestions are welcome. I went and had an alignment done today on my 2004 G35X dropped on H & R Sedan springs with 19x8.5 SSR Rims with a 40 offset. I did not install any aftermarket camber or toe kits. I had the springs & rims/tires for about 1,500 miles now.

Front Camber constant = -2.1

Rear Camber before = -2.9 Rear Camber after = -2.3

Both Front and Rear Toe were adjusted and front caster was fine.

Should I get both front and rear camber kits?

Thanks in advance.

I would not worry about the rear as much as the front. Im only lowered on Z springs and after 20K miles my front tires were showing nylon on the inner side of both tires. The rears displayed typical wear for a RWD car with a slight camber. Owning an X this equaled to 4 new Pilot Sport tires and $1300 just for a years worth of driving. Im getting upper A's for sure now and I will most likely rotate @ 10k miles.

Get the arms for the front ASAP.

If the tire wear bothers you I would go with the SPC camber kit.

I'm also droped on H&R sedan springs and my rear camber is the same -2.9 or so. I have about 4K miles and the inside of my rear tire is going but I should have about another 6-8K miles left on them. But I like the negative camber the car feels better going into and comeing out of turns. I had the SPC rear camber kit but decided not to use it. I really don't mind buying 2 tires every season.

As for the front my camber it's -1.3 I believe so that's not that bad.

Thanks nr and Seddon. I think I'm going to get a front camber kit and install them when I install my stock wheels for the winter in about a month or two. I'll leave the back as it is.

Do you guys recommend the SPC front A-Arm or the Cusco one?

What is stock front and rear camber anyway?

Ok here is a recent pic of my car on 350z htechs. I put the rears on too. As you can see the back lowered alittle more. Its is about one finger gap and that is where I want it. Well back to the drawing board. I have some 350z s-techs for the front coming in and it will drop the front about .4 maybe .5 more and I think that is what I am looking for. If it is not, then I am done. LOL Well unless the H&R coupe spring look good. Sorry big pics

FlyingLumpia your looks great with the teins but I think the H&R's are lower because my rears are almost tucked and I only have 1 finger gap in the front.
