I'm close to installing the 06 350z springs and shocks i bought on my 05 non-sport suspension...just wondering what my fellow g35ers experience so far with this setup in respect to their tire wear without a camber kit...thanks!

Bump for this, I have an 04 X and Im just ordered my Rim. But after rerading X owners experiences Im frustrated theres not a safe solution to drop the car.

On a side note Im wondering do camber kits effect performance ? Is it preferable to not have to use one, kinda like wheel spacers with Rims?

ZERO issues for me after more than a year.
No feathering or inner tire wear.

I have my alignment set to coupe specs.
and the fr. toe set as close to zero as possible (0.01)

I have 350z h-tech and was able to get within coupe allignment spec. That being said, the coupe comes with negative camber, so maybe a lil camber wear, but if you drive and corner the way you should be cornering (the reason why you're upgrading the suspension), the wear would probably be less noticeable.

I have had 05z susp for 4mo. No prob, no abnormal wear.. One of the best things that I have done to date.

i haven't gone for an alignment yet but i'll keep you posted on any uneven wear.

thanks for the replies...made an appointment saturday morning to get them installed...will post pics up soon!!

I've had my Coupe springs (.8" drop in back, within a .1" of Z springs) on for over 1.5 years and have never gotten an aligment. My EL42s are showing more wear on the inside, but it's nothing terribly extreme. The sipe crevaces are still visible. I'd imagine if I had wide and lower profile tires, there would be a problem with wear.

i wonder with 20x8.5 wheels with 245-35-20 would the tires wear out faster and does the offset play a part on this too? anyone know? thanks
