Front Camber kits yet?

I am in need of new front tires already, about 11,000 mi on them. The middle and outsides look brand new, but the inside is BALD! Any word on when the front camber kits are going to be out? Or did I miss the memo? I havent been around much lately, so, I may have missed it-

That is the reason why I regretted dropping my car in the first place. Camber kits also arent the cheapest. To drop your car the right way, springs are just not the way to go. A streetable coilover setup + camber kits + alignment will run you easily 2K, and thats the RIGHT way to do it.

Yeah, I was thinking they would be out, shortly after I dropped it. The demand seems to be there. I have had the money set aside to get the camber kit, etc etc, but its going to go towards tires I guess...

Yeah.. This sucks.. I was hoping for the front camber kit to come out soon so I won't need to buy new sets of tires.. But.. I guess that's not gonna happen.. Hopefully set of shocks will come out soon too.. I don't want my stock shocks to go bad..

Inside bald at only 11K miles? I know your car is lower mine, but but man ... I didn't think it would make that much difference.

trust me, it makes a big difference. Your insides will bald very quickly. Its underestimated, very. I installed my springs, at around 12K miles, by 18K, the insides had the threads coming out of it

There isnt much difference b/t the Eibach and H&Rs is there?!?! I would imagine it would be about the same. But yeah, they are shot. I am going to take a good looooong look at them before I drive it down to Bburg for the fball game this weekend (220mi each way). Why havent your people at Eibach came through with a kit yet?!??!

I called talked to my Sales Guy at Stillen when I bought my Intakes, and I asked him about the Front Camber Kits and why they are not making any for the Front for our cars?, and He told me they are currently in the Process of making the Front Camber Arms, and SHould be out hopefully Early 2008! So Terrycs, can you check With Eibach to see if there is any progress on these Arms? Not sure If stillen is going through them or another company?? But Hopefully they come out soon. Think It's quite Silly only to make the Rear Camber Kits for our 07 Gs!?? Saying no demand for the Fronts! We'll see if my slaesman eats His Words!

I of course can't wait for these to come, as I probably won't even make it to 11K. If there is any positive to it, I'm loving the handling on negative camber! Definitely not worth the price of running through TR1s every 10k though...

I lowered mine a couple weeks after I got it back in Feb. I got just over 17k miles on mine before I had to get new front tires. I really though someone would have made something by now. They can't come soon enough!!!

I thought most people were getting ~15k miles on there sport tires anyway. So 17k miles on your tires with a drop isn't bad....

From a distribitor posting in myG37, SPC is rumored to be working on the G37 front arms. If the upper arms are indeed the same between the G37 and the 2G G35 sedan, hope may be on the horizon.

From a business perspective, I'm not sure why it's taking this long ... this is a rare opportunity for the early manufacturer to possibly capture 2 platforms at the same time.
