Installed SPC front Camber Kit

I finally took my car in for an alignment this morning I switched from Eibach Pro Kits back to Stock to Unrevised 350z springs in front and G35 coupe springs in the rear. I waited 5 weeks before getting an alignment to give the springs a chance to settle. With the Eibachs I had the car aligned right after getting the springs installed and that was a mistake and a waste of a good set of tires...

Anyway I had SPC front and Rear Camber kit with me when I went into the shop just incase the car couldn't be aligned back into the correct Camber, Toe and Caster range. They were able to get the rear back in range with no probs (1/2in drop) so I wasn't surprised by that. However they couldn't get the front back into range so they installed the SPC front Kit and WOW!!!

The car handles the way you would expect with 350z springs, sport package shocks and a 1 inch drop. I was able to take corners a lot faster and the car didn't feel like it was struggling at all. Since I have had the Eibachs and now the 350z/G35coupe set up I can honestly say that if you are using conventional springs this is really the best setup to go with.

A set of upgraded sway bars would help a lot too.

The sways would have been cheaper but I rather not have to replace tires for at least two years again. I'll probably get sways when I find them for cheap.

Is it the pro kits that messed up your camber? So if I installed that set up I wouldnt need a camber kit?

Sways will not affect your tires.

I wasn't impling that the sways would. However an alignment out of spec will that's why I had the camber kit on standby this time around.

^^ When I had my pro kit's an alignment was done and unfortunately I wasn't educated enough to consider the possibility that I would need a camber kit until it was too late. I had to get new tires and a camber kit. I wasn't happy with the handling of the pro kits so I decided to go back to my stock shocks and I brought a set of M sport rims and tires. Used the tires and sold the rims locally to recoupe the money I spent on tires etc...

I then decided to go with Unrevised 350z springs and rear G35 coupe springs because they are linear springs and have the same spring rates as my Sport Package G35 which made them the most cost effective and best choice out of the other springs out there... I did read up on the sway bars which will improve handling and it's no trade off for a camber kit so that's not what this tread is saying. A sway bar will improve handling but it's not gone prevent odd tire wear like a camber kit will if installed properly.

My bad then. I misunderstood you. But good choice of springs. I went with the 350 z h techs. Also linear, I am loving them, the rear camber kit goes on tomorrow.
