Sup! i got the S-techs.

As far as camber kit? Yeah, you will most likely need one.
I had my S-techs for a month now. They ride very nice. Stiffer than stock but not teeth shattering.

However, being Mr. Paranoid, i'm going to switch over to HKS LS+.

Another interesting thing i've noticed is that people less issues with camber when going with coilovers vs. just springs. A buddy of mine has eibachs (pro kit) and he has front camber issues. Whereas another buddy of mine has TEIN FLEX w/EDFC. 0 camber issues front or back.

But as for the TEIN S-Techs. They're great man. Definite thumbs up.

That wasn't the case for me. Rear was much too soft... 274 vs 342 stock. but
since it looks like you already had swaybars that might be why you didn't feel
it as much as I did when I just did the springs alone.

The reason why coilover people might not be addressing camber issues is
because they may not be lowering the car as much...or they're already
planning to do camber adjustable arms and rods since they are serious about
tuning.. (still noone talks about fixing rollcenter that much) or just living with
it cause it's another chunk of money. based on the Japanese CPV35
bulletins Im reading, the max they are lowering is -20mm due to roll center
issues.

The Tein flex is a really unique product that allow's you to raise the car up making the shock bodies taller and NOT with the spring perches. Not all coilover products allow all G35's to be aligned to factor specs, buyer beware. Factual coilover drop information can be very hard if not impossible to come by from some companies.

A coupe with the LS+ can be aligned without aftermarket alignment fixes because the LS+ on the coupe offers a drop range that allow's you to do so, this according to specs listed on their web site in Japan. However, if you were to set the car up to the ride height that they recommend according to those same specs, you will not able to align the car without front camber arms. I know Tein's recommended coilover ride heights come from corner balanceing the car and testing, I do not know if HKS does the same in their recommendations.
