i think you just need aftermarket shocks in the rear
Negative camber could have done that but it's more of a slow wear. If your toe is off it will eat your tires alive like that.

lowered car on 350z springs = excessive neg camb (on axis pentas 19ix8.5).
I have my car lowered on full 350Z suspension. I never got an alignment, not after i installed my new rims/tires, not after dropping, not after getting a new set of tires. I have watched the tread wear very closely and paid extra attention to whether the car was pulling or not. Everything has been fine, I have had a little bit of edge wear but I chalk that up to cornering hard on the quasi-rural roads I take to work every morning. There are great stretches where I can go all out tourismo style with no other cars around for miles.lowered car on 350z springs = excessive neg camb (on axis pentas 19ix8.5).

the tire is feathered a bit and its on the outer edge.
visually....it looks like there is a bit of toe in...but I am not sure if my eyes are that accurate + my allignment came out fine last time

okay big deal....dude f*ked up his tires, he'll get new ones, and then he'll get an alignment!! Problem solved! Who's next.

It's always a good idea to get the alignment done, even if the tires arent showing excessive wear and the car isnt pulling, doesnt mean the alignment isnt out. You can prolong the life of the rear tires if anything by dialing in the rear camber as much as possible.Originally Posted by BigSash

Dem be fightin words It's taking me a while but the day after new years I'm gettin my stuff. I'm gettin some '06 350z wheels and the z-tube and stock 350z springs from guy down in orlando. So soon I'll have pics to show. Also, I'm going to have Forged Performance put in some eibach pro-kits for me. I work 2 seconds away from these guys and they have some sick turbo z's and g coupes.
