Camber Kit Question?

Hi Guys

I lowered my G35 07 sedan on H&R springs and wanted to know will a camber kit fix how my car sits on its tires? Right now they are not siting straight which causes uneven wear on the tires.

If so can you recommend a good brand? (website would help)

Thank you in advance

There is only so much camber adjustment as your car sits now. Installing the camber kits will allow you to bring the camber back within spec... so yes, the camber kit will fix the negative camber you are referring to.
A little extra neg camber never hurt anyone. I still don't have my rear kit installed and I'm beginning to wonder if/when I will. I love the way the car sits and handles right now so I'm waiting to see what happens in terms of tire wear before deciding if I want to bring the camber any closer.

SPC makes upper control arms for our car:

It will add caster as well as increase camber adjustment needed to get your alignment back into spec. Eibach distributes SPC UCAs and rear camber arms, but you may want to do some research to find the best price.

You're on Eibach's, right? How long have you had it, and what kind of wear are you getting now?

I'm going to give the install another try over the holidays, but am a little worried about too much camber wear. I just had my OEM set-up re-aligned, and the fronts, especially, are already near max settings.

There's also Ichiba, which is somewhat cheaper and available through one of our vendors, too!

I think SPL makes one too. Do you have any info on the Ichiba ones?

Only been on them for a few months but I do 100 miles a day getting to and from work.
Tire wear has been unnoticeable so far, once the alignment was done and I got my Toe back into spec again.
