Hi,

I have come across camber kits for G35 sedans and dont really understand what they are needed for, if at all. Somebody said they may prevent feathering, cupping of the tires? is that true? also, can g35x sedans also use a camber kit?

oh and, will it also give a better grip of the road, like make the steering stable and what not. thanks

 

Camber kits are only needed when you lower your car, if your car is stock ride height dont worry about it. The only reason to get camber kits at stock height is if you have had an accident and the car cant be put into oem alignment using the stock parts, for everything else the stock ones will get you aligned just fine

 

When you lower our cars, the tops of the wheels tend to lean inwards slightly. As much as some people love that look, it can have negative consequences in terms of handling and tire wear. The camber kits help provide the adjustment necessary to align the wheels to spec so that proper wear, and ideal tire contact patch shape can still be achieved after lowering

 

To stop shizz like this:

 

Im surprised no one flamed him and said to use google.

And yes, it's meant for lowering. If you're planning on going low, you will need the rear cambers for sure. Front is optional. I feel the same driving experience overall even with the slight front camber at the front. And since I'm lower on coils, overall I drive better when going on turns and what not.

 

Actually camber kits up front on stock height cars are still useful. Nissan put some aggressive negative camber on these cars from the factory and at stock height I was still getting inner tire wear up front. Rear doesn't seem to be a problem at stock height, but for best contact patch (and yes, grip in front; not to mention comfort), a little more positive camber helps a lot. For that you need adjustable arms.

 

besides the camber wear the wear on those tires actually look pretty good and was worn through its usefulness. the owner shoulda changed it out way sooner tho

 

Yeah, those tires don't look that bad in terms of wear pattern. Shoulda been off the car a lot sooner tho. In stock form I literally had 3" of completely bald tires inside and the rest of the tire looked brand new. Granted my toe was fine, so they still last me a decent amount of miles, but it still bothered the **** out of me.

 

I dunno, I went 70K miles on my last set of tires. Totally stock suspension and I wore those suckers down perfectly even to the wear bars. No signs of inner tire wear at all

 

I get about 20-25K on mine (Goodyear Eagle GT, no longer made ) if I rotate them regularly, there is more wear on the inside of the tire. How much did you lower and what tires are you running?

 

Not lowered at all. Stock suspension.

Running Continental ExtremeContact DWS's. 215/55/17 70K on my last set, currently at 45K on a new set. Wearing perfectly even.

 

That's perfectly understandable.
