Guys I purchased the SPC rear camber kit for my car but all of the shops here in hawaii want to charge me $180.00 to install them and another $100 for an alignment. They say that the SPC kit requires them to remove my shocks so it will be more labor intensive. I have the Eibach Pro Kit springs and the drop to the front is more than 1 inch they advertise once the springs settle. I have about 3 fingers width of gap in the front and a loose 3 fingers in the rear. I worn out a set of Toyos and I'm running Bridgestones from the M35/45 sport rims I brought earlier in the month they are so much more quieter than the toyos so I want to keep these for as long as possible. I am thinking I should sell the rear camber kit locally and use the money to get some 350z springs for the front and G35 coupe springs for my rear and not worry about getting a camber kit to bring me back into specs. With SPC coming out with the front camber kit which will cost me over 400.00 not including labor to install it's just not worth the $$$$ to keep the Eibachs... I am just rabbling but what do y'all think?

wow...with your 40 series tires with eibach springs give you a loose 3 fingers in the rear? I have the revised 350z suspension with 245/35/20 and have 2 loose fingergaps in the front and barely can squeeze in 2 fingergaps in the rear...

The drop is perfect it's pretty even all around and not too dramatic but the camber is killing my tires.

It depends on how long you plan to keep your car. If you want to keep it for a few more years (at least) then I would spend the money to do the camber kits. Those tires are not too cheap and the camber kits would be worth it if you drive enough.

I'll go against everyone above and say forget the camber kit.

I have z/coupe springs and the ride and drop are perfect (to me anyway )and everything was great after alignment (i.e. within coupe alignment specs).
