Im trying to drop it on s-techs so i will need a camber kit ontop of that. it doesnt camber bad at all with the spacers, i can just tell its slightly cambered when i look at the car from the side and my friends when they drive behind me say it cambers.

Don't worry about it. I can't answer your question but make sure you buy the full kit when you lower on S Techs. Best of luck

I recommended the full front and rear kit in my previous post. If your just looking to get the rear kit, make sure you get the toe bolts with them. The toe bolts are a fairly inexpensive add on to the SPC rear camber arms but it's what really makes the difference. Like everyone has said, it's better to have the toe in spec and then the camber.

You should be able to find a used rear camber kit with toe bolts for $150 shipped or less. Check the marketplace both here and my350z.com

also with the toe bolts.. be aware that you MIGHT run into the same problem i did.. they were too short so i called up spc and they told me that maybe my car is a late model 06 and they sent me an 07 toe bolt.. so be aware of that as well
