^will do. I have an alignment appointment first thing monday morning right before I drop my car off at infiniti for warranty work...my catalytic converter is cracked but thank god it is covered under warranty! also I have to get some rattles taken care of my car is rattling like crazy...i think some rattles will go away after i get the negative camber in the rear so that the rubbing is gone.

^i checked his thread out already he is on different springs...impul which is a very minor drop and im on eibachs. i think from talking to "borna" i just need to negative camber out my rears to -2 and I should be fine. beezy also has vossens rims like mine with the same offsets in the rear and 20x10.5 and he runs about -2 camber and he doesnt have rubbing issues. once i get my negative camber done tmrw during alignment and get all my toe in spec I should be good to go.

no drop may look kinda weird...huge gap probably. but you can try it and then drop afterwards.

Borna,
So is it necessary to have a rear camber kit if I lower the car with H&R springs?

well it is not necessary but you will be running a decent amount of negative camber in the rear so you don't rub H&R's is super low.

Yeah it's a good idea to get a camber kit with the H&R springs since they drop the car significantly, which means more negative camber.

It all depends on your wheel fitment though, for example, I'm dropped on H&R's but with no camber kit. This is because I have aggressive wheels on my car and to fit them I had to max out the stock camber arms. The camber from the drop was good for me and no with the stock camber arms maxed out I'm fitting fine.

The main thing you should do is make sure the toe is in spec. Camber wear isn't too big of a deal. Yes it causes uneven tire wear but nothing that would make you have to buy tires every few months. Toe on the other hand, if it is out of spec, will chew through your tires very quickly and make you have to buy new tires every 5k miles.

If you're going for a more conservative wheel setup then I'd recommend a camber kit so you can bring your camber back in spec and won't have to deal with uneven tire wear.
If you'd rather just skip out on a kit then just make sure you get your toe in spec and be prepared for some uneven tire wear (nothing too serious though).

Thanks Borna,

Ive seen online that there are rear camber kits with two rear camber arms for $250, and rear camber with just two bolts for $75. What is the difference between the two?

The one that costs $250 is the actual camber kit (which is what you should get) whereas the $75 ones are just toe bolts.
