370Z springs experiment
#316
I just removed my summer wheels after having installed the front 370Z springs ~6months ago in May.
Evaluation so far: no scraping, happy with the stiffness, handling. But, I did notice abnormal tire wear (cupping) on the inboard sides of the front tires when I took them off. This is due to the increased negative camber (now -1.4 to 1.7°). I've noticed that it does seem to sit a bit lower than a G35s or Xs when side by side.
Have any of you noticed the same issue? Our front suspension has no camber adjustment. Is there some way to avoid this without getting a camber kit, which I'm assuming isn't cheap?

The dust shields I am referring to are for the rear brakes, so they have nothing to do with having aftermarket wheels. You will still need to trim the factory rear dust shields in order to clear the larger rear rotors. They are easy to trim, though... All you need is a good pair of tin snips and some sand paper to smooth out the rough edges so you don't slice yourself open on them afterwards.

Any of you guys have pics of your 370z spring set up w/ aftermarket wheels?! Trying to figure out tire size now that I'm dropped on mine. I know I"m going to have some wheel gap left so I'm trying to figure out if I can minimize some of it by going with a 40 profile tire instead of a 35. Going w/ 19's btw.

For the 370Z springs, what years will work ? I don't want to presume springs from an
