also I would do a cusco front (and rear if possible) from what I know cusco gives you the most amount of adjustability even more than spc
Thanks for the info! Strange about the camber plates and thanks for bringing that up. I am definitely going to have to research that.

I'm sorry but how do those people drive anywhere when they are dropped that low? Don't get me wrong i love the look but, where i live Tucson Arizona you couldn't make it a hour without scraping. S**t I'm not dropped that low and i cant get into half the places i try to go. Like where do they live and do they ever drive?

True, in a sense, the coilover itself has nothing to do with the camber but the camber plates that are bolted up at the top due. For instance on my 240sx I was able to achieve 6 degrees negative camber in the front because of the camber plates when I was fitting my 18x10 -5 in the front. According to Enjuku’s website:

Stance Suspension Company offers a new high quality monotube coilover for the Nissan 350Z. Utilizes a true coil over shock design for the rear, allowing for added rear camber adjustment. Monotube suspension offers many benefits over conventional twintube suspension. Oil and gas are completely separated, which results in precise dampening characteristics. The monotube design allows heat to dissipate much quicker. Inverted monotube design can resist extremely high lateral forces compared to an upright twintube suspension.
Now I know it says the 350z but I am sure they offer this same coilover for the G.

Now from what I understand is the lower you go the more camber you can achieve by reducing the vehicles ride height by itself without touching the camber plates or anything else related to the suspension. Again I could be wrong and all info is appreciated.

^Correct!

Again the camber plates do not affect the camber what so ever, the camber plates are good if you are running alot of neg camber and big wheels. Say you have the plate adjusted all the way out towards the fender and you are running big wheels and alot of camber, there is a chance you will be hitting the coils. But you adjust the camber plate to give you more clearance between the coil and wheel/tire. That's why you are able to run more camber.

LOL...I live in Phoenix and I guess you just figure out how to drive your car like that. Been driving slammed cars on and off since I was 15 years old. Also I am oriinally from California and I think it's in my blood ;-)

well driving slammed isnt for everyone with that said, it doesnt really mean that if you are not able to is a reflection on you but rather your environments or.. just get it on bags.. raise it when u need to drive n leave it on the floor when parked

I am about a +13 on a 12" wide rim it pokes more than 10.5 or 11" at a +10 I wont be streched any more I need traction so I am going from a 19x10.5 up front with a 265 up to a 275 and from 19x12 rear with a 285 to a 305. I have yet to see if the tires will fit with my offsets though.

I never said -8 degree camber, i was referring to the -8 offset that you suggested. Yea, u can make anything fit, but in terms of look it wont look that great on a G. The z's can fit the rear a tad more aggressive. rolling on more than -4 camber is not a good look. Fitment is key not numbers. I agree with the front to be around -8 offset and you're golden. But the rears anything beyond -3 offset is not worth it.
because ultimately you're doing it for the look.

what is stock suspension with coilovers? never heard of it..stock camber arms u mean?

I have 285s on the rear with -1.15 deg camber so we are going to try the 305s with -1.5-1.75 camber I had the 265s on the front with -2.5deg camber and there was tons of room so the 275s will fit easy I also have camber arms for the front coming so I will try it at -1.5 - -2deg camber. The rears might have to get pulled but I will try to get those 305s on there.

I see then sorry for the confusion about the -8 offset. Also I did not know how to word the suspension part but your right on what you said. That is what i meant.
