2007+ G35 Camber kit question....

Are they any brands that are out yet for this model? If so, which would be the most desirable to obtain? Cost is a factor, but I don't want to sacrifice for quality.

There might be an Eibach camber kit out by now for their 07 pro kit springs last I heard someone in the 07+ section was working with eibach.

i need one. the h&r's have my camber out of specifications on all 4 corners. makes it ride funny on unlevel pavement. and I am pretty sure the handling is being sacrificed as well.

there are some megan racing camber adjustment arms for the rear subframe for the first gen g35 coupe/350z. i wonder if those would work for us. should be almost the exact same rear subframe suspension.

Do the camber kits bolt on with out any other modiifcation. I would not want to cut or grind anything if I didn't have to. It is weird to me that these are affect so much when you lower them. With my S4 you could slam it and still be able to get the alignment is perfect spec. I wonder why Nissan doesn't give those kind of adjustment parameters.

Yes, Eibach makes camber arms for the 2007. The part number and retail pricing can be found toward the end of the thread here:

yes, they work very well.

The camber arms are bolt on.

The rear toe bolts (if needed) will require elongating the holes in the frame with a dremel or die grinder.

Not without some mods, the rear arm mounting location is slightly different. The earlier model year camber arms can be forced to fit by smashing down the mounting location or shimming it up with washers because the 07s mounting location is wider.

It's better to buy the correct arms which should be less than $200 per pair.

So basically no cutting needs to be done unless you install the toe adjustment arms? Are these toe arms seperate from the camber kit? They aren't needed for a minor H&R drop are they? I really don't like the idea of having to use a dremel or die grinder on a brand new 40K car.

Correct ... you may not need the toe bolts. It depends on whether or not the car comes into spec with just the arms. BUT, elongating the existing holes is not really a big deal. There is plenty of room.

There is a very good how to thread somewhere here with pics.

I think with a pretty aggressive drop like the H&R's it will require a full rear kit (camber arms and toe bolts) because you will only be able to increase your camber slightly before you throw the toe out of whack.

But you are correct, elongating the holes for the toe bolts is not a big deal at all. I've installed 6 or 7 SPC rear camber kits on earlier model G sedans, coupes and 350Z's (including my own) with no hesitation. There is no reason to be worried about dremeling some aluminum on a $40k car, it wont hurt it at all.

I would agree, most likely any drop in back greater than about 1" would need the camber / toe kit if you want to keep those expensive 19"/20" tires on the car longer.
