It is all up to your tolerance for tire wear. At least with Eibach, most have reported their front camber being -1.5 to -2*. That is not terrible but you will get premature inner tire wear.

 

Yup, well said.

Anything over -1.2 to -1.5 degrees is going to cause some additional wear. My advice is set the toe as close to 0 as possible, and see what you think after 5-8000 miles. At that point you will have a good idea of what your tire wear is like.

Mine is at -1.5 and -1.8 on the front and I would like to get it to the -1.2 range, but I am not sure if I care enough to add the front camber arms (especially since others are reporting interference issues with the fender). At a minimum I would let SPC work out the problems people are having before making a decision.

 

Funny you say that, they are actually sitting in the garage now. Will take some pics later. Standard two car garage. Nothing impressive yet.
Lets face it, if you drop your car, and do not get an alignment kit, your tires will wear uneven. As would they if they are not properly inflated. So, in my case, I want things to be perfect, or as close to perfection as possible. Not quite sure what the burnt rubber smell would be. Start a thread.

 

In that case, they belong in the master bath.

 

All back into the green!

 

screw the kit, been there done that...but that kitchen.....

that kitchen is HOT!!!!!!!!

 

G35 sedans, SPC Camberkits, and nice kitchens FTW!!! hahaha

Do you have a Ryan Home? Our kitchens are almost configured the same, especially the granite and island.

 

I've been following that thread on myg37, and it seems that the problems were related to the g37's and not the 35's (since the arm design was different). From what I got, once the 35 arms were installed on the 37, the problem seemed to have stopped. I haven't been following it lately, but that's what I got from the thread (I may be wrong).

 

The problems were related to the G37 arms. These are the same arms that anyone with an 07-08 sedan would be using. The current solution is to add spacers (urethane washers) to increase the bump stop (not ideal in my opinion), or go with the G35 arms (these would be for 07-08 sedan).

The problem is the upper part of the arms extend too far out on the G37. This is done to increase the adjustment range on the camber setting, but it also means on the newer sedans and coupes it interferes with the inside of the fender. This only happens at full compression of the front suspension, but seems to happen on most cars. I can tell you now, the part that is currently out will not be the final release of this part. One of three things will happen: 1) they will re-design it altogether, 2) they will make the washers/bump stop kits part of the release, or 3) they will make the G35 arms the official arms to use.

With the above said, it sounds like they are going to go the G35 arm route. These have the shorter top part of the arm where the "knuckle" mounts to the A-arm. Now let me ask this.... If the G35 arm is really the right arm to use, then why did they spend the time designing the A-arm in the first place? I have to say, I think the people that are buying this now are asking for issues (this goes for the G37 arms). SPC does this a lot, and the same thing happened on the first release of the G35 A-arms. They are going to need some time to work things out, but the current arm is not an ideal solution unless you like the banging and clunking sound of the A-arm hitting your fender.

 

Cool, thanks for the verification. Luckily for me, I'm not lowered enough to require them for my car

 

Here is a link to the thread that discusses these issues:

Here are some pics of the 3 arms compared to each other....

Just to explain the pictures.... The red "knuckle" is moved up and down to adjust camber. You can see the G37 arm has the most positive camber adjustment (in the down direction), and you loose a lot of that with the G35 arm. According to one of the posts in the thread, they maxed out at -0.9 degrees in the positive direction.

 

I thought you were on JIC coilovers; are they not very low?

It did not seem to affect mildly lowered cars as much. It is also pretty hard to bottom out the suspension during everyday driving. Where you would really see the problem (or hear it I guess) is at the track or over large bumps at high speed.

 

HAHAHAHAA! Yep! Have the Avalon Model.

 

The G37 coupe arms are NOT the same ones that are for the G35 07+ sedan. The kit numbers are different. As far as I know, none of us with G35 07+ sedans have had any problems with our kits. The G37 coupe guys then used our arms but there is still a problem if more positive camber is needed.

 

Yes, but I'm not lowered much (didn't want it to be). I'm probably only less than an inch in the front and about an inch in the back.
