Camber question

With a 1.5 drop in the front on an 06 sedan, is it possible to align close to spec without a camber kit? I'm hearing bad things about the eibach. Some ppl are saying that after they settle, its actually a 1.5 drop and sometimes the back sags. Is this true?

My Eibach kit dropped as advertised. I will need a rear camber kit to control the wear in the rear but the front was ok.

the front and rear camber are going to be fairly out of spec, front and rear. Front camber isnt adjustable from the factory on our cars, so it'll be way out either way.

so then eibach would be the best way to go to stay at least close to spec?
Also bbug, does your car look lower in the back or is it pretty much level all the around?

Here are the before and after pics. The back is still slightly higher.

Before:


After (sorry about the image size) I reduced it but it's still way too big.

ive got the h techs with ~1.3 front/0.7 rear drop and both front and rear are slightly out of spec...rear seems a little worse but front gets a little unpredicable at times too...only way to correct this is adjustable camber arms...ive got the rear spc kit going on this week along with the gt specs front tie brace-rear lat bar....the rear tie brace wont be able to fit with the spc!

I had the Eibachs on I didn't have any problems with sagging but I did need a camber kit at all 4 corners to get me back into spec. My drop was more than the advertised amount. If you go with any spring including the 350Z/G35 Coupe be sure to monitor your camber and check your tire wear some guys are finding that with the adjustable camber kits you can get your camber in spec but your toe is way off and vice versa. Here are some pixs of the eibachs on I have sense taken them off I am going with 04 G35 coupe springs for 1/2 inch drop all 4 corners.

I installed 350z spring front and coupe springs on the rear. I had to get a front camber kit only to bring the fronts into stock spec's. I installed the SPL front camber kit today. The kit was very nicely made and easy to adjust. I would recommend this camber kit. It cost me 549.00 dollars plus shipping.

+1 for the SPL front camber kit, i would recommend it to anyone. I did an alignment on a coupe with one and they are constructed pretty solid and easy to adjust as well.

I would look into an SPC camber kit. They have been around for a long time and I have had their kits on a few cars with great results.

You will not be in spec with a 1.5' drop. I am just out of spec with a 1.3/1.2 H&R drop right now.

The SPC front camber kits are having some problems with them and preformance shops cannot get the front SPC camber kits. If I had to get rear camber/toe, than I will get SPC.
