Ichiba is probably one of the best brands for spacers. I have V2s on my Z.

I've noticed that people running spacers tend to need expensive bearing replacements after a while. I'm running 15mm all around and just started to hear that dreaded "wubba wubba" sound as well. I'm praying it's not the bearings.

Anyone here have any probs?

Negative camber is negative camber, your tires WILL wear unevenly regardless of a drop as long as your camber is like that.

So, if I have stock suspension and wheels and put spacers (20mm and 25mm) on, will I have to correct the negative camber?

YEA get an alignment first see if its adjustable if not then you might have to get a camber kit

Yea, again, its not "bad" its just going to wear your tires out faster is all. If you can handle buying tires at a more accelerated rate than normal, then dont bother getting a camber kit.

So if I run 20-25 I need a camber kit? I've never heard of that before, I mean its only 20,25mm, makes that much of a difference?

I plan on running spacers for maybe 2,3 months before I upgrade wheels, do I still need a rear camber kit?

thanks
