If Eibach kit is added can camber be adjusted to stock settings without any additional kits? I have heard that on Coupe's they can't get precisely the right camber and get some tire-tread probs with Eibachs and most other springs. Any1 know if this applies to sedans in anyway?

On the Eibach prokit drop you should be fine....anything lower and you're going to rub.

Have you changed the stock brake pads to a low dust pad? If so, which brand?

Seems like with the stock pads and those wheels---they would be very hard to clean?

That look is a refreshing break from all the 5 and 6 spoke wheels out there on EVERY vehicle.

Same question for you--what brake pads do you have?

those wheels look very nice!

You have to get your story straight. First you said you had the same set up as G35_TX which is 19x8.5 +38 and 19x9.5 + 38. Then you said your rear offset on the 9.5 rim is +45.

If you have 9.5 +45 in the rear you can go with the Eibach prokit 1.1" drop front and back without any problems or you can even go lower and you won't have any problems.

If you use the 350Z springs...you won't even notice the drop since it is so minimal (1/2").

Here is a pic of another member who has 19x9.5 +45 droped on the Eibach prokit. This is how your car would look in the rear.

They came in today! And tomorrow around 5pm they get installed with tires! Here are some pics. I put my phone on the wheel to show u the size of the lip. My phone is kinda big anyways.

I also weighed the wheels. 19x9.5 was 28 lb, and 19x8.5 was 27 lb. Not great but not that bad either.
