Unhappy New G35... new lowering issues

Alright So i just became a proud owner of a 2004 G35 coupe, love her so far but i bought it lowered. I noticed i have some dramatic tire wear towards the outside of the left front tire. (but not really on any of the others) I looked into the problem and people have suggested that i buy some camber arms to reset the camber back to zero. This a good idea? Since more people here study the infiniti way here, Figured you guys could help. there an easy cheap fix? OR are the camber arms the way to go. i believe the suspension just has lowering springs, its not a whole coilover set. if that matters at all. Anyways, if camber arms are the way to go then is that my solution? nissan friends tell me megan racing is the way to go in terms of camber arms. This true? Thanks a bunch AND looking Forward to spending tons of time on here.

get like eibach camber arms... spc is the same thing but more expensive. for the front, spl camber A arms are good.


I'm lowered on eibach springs with 35/38mm spacers and i dont have bad tire wear and never went to an alignment shop lol.

Tire wear on the outside edge?

First off before you start blowing money on parts that may or may not solve the issue, diagnose the issue.
How much is the car lowered? What brand are the springs? Have you had an alignment done yet? If so what are your alignment specs? When you bought the car was that tire worn like that, or has it happened since you have owned it?
Are there any odd vibrations or steering issues (does it pull to a side or drift)?

Welcome to the site, its a great place to learn about our cars.
Try searching the suspension forum for brands and reviews, that the best way to make an informed decision when buying parts. There is also a Coupe forum, but you're always welcome here as well

tire on the outside is weird. usually when people have camber wear its in the inside and is because the Stock A arms cannot get the tire back in spec.
have you checked the air in the tire? and again take it for an alignment.. while your at it might as well get the lifetime alignment package.

That is weird. Could outside wear be a sign of toe being way off?
