G35x and STechs = Uneven drop...
#16
nope, flat ground.
alright all of you guys are freaking out about camber.....yes its a tire wearing angle but most of the time you want a little negative camber ESPECIALLY if he is using his car for any type of track use or just loves to take hard corners. There are plenty of guys on here running crazy amounts of negative camber for their dd cars. Now if you have positive camber i would say fix it right away since you're actually loosing tire to road surface contact on most turns. I'd say give your car a little bit longer for your springs to settle, if they still dont settle right look at other variables like how much gas is in your car, if you have anything in the backseat, incorrect installation, any of these things can cause it to be a little lower on one side.

I have had a bad experience with my S-techs so far as well.
I am almost +1" drop greater than expected in the rear (w/ empty fuel tank), with the RR sitting at -2.2" from stock. Also, my car is uneven side-to-side by .5". The R/S is lower than the L/S
I'm changing the suspension out again this weekend to correct the vehicle condition. I will let you know if my issue has something to do with the spings, installation, or the weld condition of the body/sub-frame.

that is the nature of the wheel wells. The front looks good IMO, the rear is a touch too aggressive. 350z revised may work as well.

most drops are uneven. Not sure why or how but they are. stock i think mines lower on the right when i had on Z springs. THere isn't an exact math to measure to make sure your not seeing things. Cars just aren't designed perfertly. It could be the wear of the shock or stuff in the trunk. If you passangers tend to sit more on one VS the other.
Too many things to factor. I rarely care. I have coils now and tell you the truth its not even. Nor do i care that much. I try to get it even but i will loose sleep over .25 inches, unless i'm rubbing or something.
I ran last year without a camber kit for 3000 miles on a pretty low drop. camber signs on the tires but maybe about 2/32 difference. Not a big deal. You guys all all complain about camber and etc, remember donpisto is on like -5 degrees on PURPOSE.
Missouri, just ride it out for a bit. and get your alignment. It will not make a difference.

Getting them tomorrow, so def not going to pull the fuse. The drop I have now is pretty aggressive. Before I do the camber kit install, we are going to check out the springs and get it aligned. I like to space out expenditures

AWD you dont have much options for front struts. Plus it elimates the " I dont like my drop" and the " its too low or high" and my favorite " i wish it was just a little more higher/lower"

The cost of a coilover kit is about the cost of new springs and strut/shocks and entire hardware you need to put it on. Well maybe a little more least with RWD sedans.
