suspension help!!

OK, So I ordered a set of the g35 tein s techs ( I Know I should gotten the 350z stechs) and I also ordered a kinetix camber kit.....now my question is this, will that be all I need to ensure that I dont get any uneven tire wear? Or will I need more....also, how do I adjust the camber? When I get it aligned will they know what to do and do it for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated....

I agree that you should have gone with the 350z springs instead of the g35 springs. A better drop overall IMO. The place that you get your alignment done with adjust your camber for you so nothing you have to worry about. A camber kit is still something I should get but I have been on the Eibach ProKit since 03, no camber kit and haven't eaten through tires like crazy or anything. Hope that helps at least a little.

You need a rear toe kit to go with the camber kit... once you're dropped, as you adjust the camber, you'll get even more toe, and that in itself is worse than having negative camber - Negative camber is only bad on tire wear as where toe will affect stability

Toe arms are not possible with spring setups or coilovers that incorporate the springs. You need true coilovers for that.

Get the Eibach (same as SPC) toe bolts and you'll be good with up to -3.5 degrees of camber. Any more than that and your toe is going to be really off and thus needing the arms, but with springs and some camber arms you'll be fine with toe bolts. Stock ones don't allow for much toe adjustment. The toe bolts are 40-45 bucks I believe.

As others mentioned, nothing wrong with negative camber, it's the toe you really need to worry about.
