SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts. I have em and i'm lowered the same as you in the rear. I was able to bring my rear camber from -2.2/2.3 to -1.6/1.7 with the kit, and on both sides the toe is around 0.10

$200 new from some of the vendors here on our site.

you might need a toe kit. my camber with the H-techs are about -1.2 all around but my toe was seriously affected. Check on Performance Nissan for the kits. That where I have to order my rear toe kit.

I understand Camber being affected, however the toe being so bad that you need a toe kit? I was thinking of installing the 350z springs, however, after hearing this, I might not! I don't want to spend more $ on a toe kit.

I installed coupe springs in the rear and 350z springs in the front. The rear wheels were within stock specs; however, the front wheels camber were off a little. I ended up getting SPL front camber kit installed to bring them back into stock specifications.

I would get the SPC kit. They are a good name with many years behind them. Also the kits are a good deal. There is a vendor with a sale on them around here somewhere.

I got my SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts from Import Auto Performance. I believe they are one of the sponsors here so look up their name it is IAPDirect.com..they might be having some good deals. Also check out thmotorsports..they're all under the marketplace section..I see you live in Socal so once you get them, take your car into West End in Gardena for install/alignment..The guy's name is Darrin..his number is 310-808-9233. He only works by appointments and if you do make an appointment, don't be late.

Wow...for real? I thought I did all my homework & just purchased the same springs for the front & rear..thought I'd be within spec.... How much does this front kit cost? Do I truly need it? If I rotate fronts to back every 5-7K miles, wouldn't I be okay?

I had revised Z springs on my car, they drop it more than h-techs and i easily brought my car back into specs with the factory eccentrics. I dont know what he's talking about.

i wouldnt worry about the front camber too much, its only slightly out of spec with that setup. If you rotate the tires, you'll be fine.

Don't ignore your rear toe alignment aftering lowering. This pic shows what the combination of added negative camber and severe rear toe-out will do to a set of tires after about 5k miles. It was my own fault for not even checking the toe after installing my Eibachs. I used Kinetix fully adjustable camber and toe arms to correct the problem. Front camber and toe was easily corrected with factory hardware.
