The G has been dropped! I will post pics and stuff later! Brief overview, the rear has negative camber, the eibach springs for the reg. sedan (part # 6363.140) will work. There is also some negative camber on the front. The Volks look perrrrrrrrrty! I will post more tonight or tomorrow!

Later in day
The drop with the Eibachs is a bit over an 1" from stock, I have exact ride height measurements (before / after) but left them in the car.
The camber on the back is around -2 degrees and the front I think was around -1.
Toe in/out: dialed in per spec.
Ride is fine, maybe a little bouncier right now, but I also had the 4 orginial tires/rims that were replaced in the backseat and trunk. I have a picture posted in this thread:
https://g35driver.com/forums/showfla...ed&sb=5&part=5
The back end is a bit higher now that I've taken all the tires out.
As you see the car:
Tires: Toyo FZ4 245/40/18, Toyo T1s are on the way, just didn't get delivered yet.

Wheels: Volk GT-C face2 18x8 with a +43mm offset
Springs: Eibach 6363.140, stated 1" drop, tad more in this application.

Wheels/tires/springs all purchased from:
www.bigbeartire.com

In regards to Big Bear Tire, Justin is the best suspension/alignment guy I've ever done business with. Marty and John, best guys to deal with if you're looking for wheels/tires, period. If the website doesn't have what you're looking for, call and they'll find it.

Well, I think that about covers it for now, I have all the numbers in my car so I'll post them tomorrow.

thinking about putting the tanabe sustec dress up springs which should drop the car 1.5" front and back. anyone think there would be any problems?

 

It depends on the tire size you're going to run, I have 245/40's on mine which are .5 inch shorter than stock. Since I have the drop from the springs as well, adding another .5 inch would cover the top of the tire. Another issue would be the camber adjustments, I'm at -2.? degrees now in the back and -1.? in the front. I personally wouldn't do it. I may get the camber set to bring the back closer to stock, but the jury is still out on that.

Man, why is your camber so off? when I dropped on the 350Z suspension at 1" front and 1 1/8" rear and my camber was no wear near yours. It was -1.1 front and -1.4 rear. I changed it to -1.1 rear, dialed out some rear neg toe and made the front 0 toe. Thing is, I totally hate changing it, car is not as nice at the limit. As soon as I get 350Z RSR springs on, alignment specs are going back to more aggresive.

I have no idea on why it's so far off. Also slight correction, all cambers are all between -1.6 and -1.9. Not much better. Any suggestions? I have no noise so I'm assuming the springs are sitting properly. Toe in/out are all fine.
