Since i'm a newbie, i wanna ask if it is necessary to install the pro-alignment kit with the springs. Please let me know. Thank you.

 

I just went with the Eibach springs and a camber kit on the rear, then went to a good alignment shop and they did a pretty good job. 2.5yrs later I'm on my second set of Potenzas up front from inner wear. If I was eating up front tires I would have gotten the front camber but the front wear is not bad at all. The rears wear perfectly normal.

Ooooppps jus realized you have the "X" so totally ignore my $.02

 

Thanks for your info! I guess I'll save up for front and rear camber kit since x models have non-staggered wheels. Anymore info please?

 

No kits on mine and tire wear has been fine for 9 months now.
Negative camber is not a tire eating culprit and it helps the handling quite a bit.
Just make sure you get the Toe set correctly and you'll be fine.

I honestly don't understand the thinking of those that drop and then get the camber exactly back to stock again. A little negative camber is your friend... embrace it... love it.

 

Thanks for the tip. I am being a bit skeptical because i am getting some new rubbers tomorrow (Bridgestone RE960). Just cant live with the stock dunlop anymore.....SO NOISY!

 

What did you set your toe to, factory specs or did you zero the toe?

 

I very recently installed some 370Z front springs on my X. I like the little bit of camber my 7/8" drop created. The car corners much better with much less body roll.

 

Like Aeson said camber is your friend and toe is the enemy. If you correct the toe to 0 and not factory you will be fine. Your tires will wear just as they would normally but from the inside. I'm on my iPhone right now but when I get home I'll post up a picture of my rear tires which I've driven on for 20,000 miles after lowering and they look like that are new.

 

Please do post some pictures of your car, i would like to see how the car looks when it's lowered. Thanks!

 

save up for coilovers.
