Camber kit won't solve anything, that's just going to adjust camber. Your camber can be spot on, but if your toe is off, there goes your tire wear. Check to see if your bushings are worn out and if your toe is in spec. More than likely, it's one of those two.

Got a question myself, sorta. Couple weeks ago my brakes would squeal constantly, even when brakes weren't applied. I bought new brake pads since they seem to be quite low (in the rear, fronts seemed fine) and before I even had a chance to swap them out, no more sound. Ideas of what it could be? Still replace the pads? (If the rotors can be resurfaced I'll be doing that when putting on new pads).

are the coupe muffler inlet pipe the same size as an 04 sedan inlet pipe? Its hard to find a sedan muffler. I want to get an aftermarket muffler but do not want to cut my OEM one in case i want to swap it back.

^ You can run the Mid Pipe from teh coupe, but not the muffler without some modification in the sedan. That modification is cutting the spare tire well so that it can sit there.

You can get aftermarket mufflers that wont have to cut anything

it could be your pads werent seated properly and finally fit in the way they should be .
Make sure u use the grease to help prevent the squealing .

What I actually wanted to do was cut the coupe inlet pipe from the muffler and weld it onto the aftermarket muffler that I plan on buying. Ive been searching around from an 04 sedan muffler but couldn't find any, but found plenty of coupes. So i was just wondering if i can just use the coupe inlet pipes instead of the sedan one. I alrdy have a HR Y pipe and coupe mid pipe.

So ive been given the opportunity to buy porsche calipers from a friend of mine. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and what problems may occur if i would try to run these on my 03 g sedan.

Ok, I have another question. According to the owners manual, you have to use stock EVERYTHING (suspension, swaybars, brake pads and rotors, exhaust, EVERYTHING) on the G35X because if you don't the VDC won't work properly. I think that's a load of crud, but I thought I'd ask on here to make sure if that's true or not.

special brackets and probably some other things. you can buy a factory 14'' complete kit for less than $1600 and it bolts right on.

There are plenty of modded X's on here. no one has issues if its done correctly and not half assed

I have packing tape residue on my polished lips (just received my new set up). What is the best way to get it off w/o damaging the finish?
