I have a full Z suspension with no camber kit. No issues at all. I was able to get an alignment to 350z specs and my tires have held up fine.

I have a sedan, unrevised Z springs in front and Coupe springs in back. After an alignment, the camber is off by 1.2 + degrees. I do get wear on the inside of the back and front tires. I get about 25,000 miles out of a set.

Your machine looks to be one of the few that I have seen that looks like you can drive it without scrubing the wheel wells. The rim & tire combination are very balanced. Beautiful rims! nice tread pattern. What inch rim, and tire size combo, fronts and backs?

Im running that combo. Im happy with the look. I think the gap looks pretty even compared to other spring kits but just like many have said you will probably want to go a tad lower after running this setup for a while. For me, this was an inexpensive way to mod the suspension and improve the stance. I just rotated my tires and im getting uneven tire wear in the front. I did the alignment soon after the drop but there is no camber adjustment in the front so i knew this would happen. Rears look good though. I might do a front camber kit. But man are they pricey. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback so far, this would be an ideal setup for me, I have no desire at all to be low, I dont really care about fitment or anything, I just want it to look normal! The wheel gap is too damn big lol

I thought you were supposed to wait for the springs to settle before getting an alignment?

Also, is the 350z alignment suggested? Does it give you good handling & tire wear?

Sounds like this setup will be perfect for you. I forgot to mention i slapped some 20mm
Spacers front and back and this actually helped close the gap a little bit more. Depending on your wheel/tire setup, you might have to roll your fenders if you add spacers. As for the alignment, i waited a couple weeks to do it. The springs were used so i dont think there was much settling to be had. i dont know what a 350z alignment is. Are you referring to using Z specs for the alignment? And yes handling improved with the drop even though it was sport tuned stock suspension.
