370Z springs experiment
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?

What year Z and what year sedan? If your refering to the 370Z sport brakes and if they will fit a V36 (2007+) sedan... then yes they will bolt right on without any brackets required you will just need to trim the rear dust shields to clear the larger rear rotors.

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.

^ slightly higher than Eibach's so you still have clearance but get rid of some of that 4x4 stock look that the X's have. I'd say this drop is comparible to the Impul's but much cheaper than paying for Impuls. Still rides great too as well as obvious improvements in cornering.
I know this thread has been beaten, but if anyone is wondering, stocked revised Z springs (2004.5+) will fit of course and the spring rate is much closer to the G35S. Here's mine, 18 months later and 55k miles later:
I have about 3" of clearance.

RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD!!!
