damn... i was thinking about going for the 350z tein H techs... Heard they only drop the G for about .5 inch so camber problem wouldn't be too outrageous. How much did you car drop by?

Could you please measure the ride height on the front of the car? Measure from the top of the fender arch to the bottom of the ground. And what size of front tires are you one?
Other's with Z H-tech's have aligned their coupe's to be close to or in spec, yor left front numbers are really out of whack. These springs don't lower as much as some other choices you can make, and they use spring rates that make more sense then many of those other choices.
Hmm somthing must be wrong then. I can see its wayyy off. It also pulls like mad to the right. Thats why I thought the alignment was right. Maybe the spring dropped? Im going to order the Tein H techs for the G and go from there.

Get new springs/suspension and raise the car up a bit. The tires alone probably cost 10X as much as the springs. Not to mention your brand new front bumper with $5k paint would crack like peanut brittle if you accidentally curb it.
i have eibachs and my camber was HORRIBLE. I got the SPC camber kit for the rear (~$200) and i have yet to purchase a kit for the front. The road noise is untolerable!!!! I have to save up a little more for the front camber kit (Im a college student = poor). But anyways, my rear is back in spec and i had the front corrected a little, but it is still way off.
steve i don't know why you don't PM me.. i've only posted in every thread of yours about camber issues.
Buy the kinetix front control arms (best bang for the buck and once they are worn in, you won't know they are there) along with the SPC Camber Arms and Toe Bolt kit (I have the kinetix traction arms as well, but was told that they barely helped the adjustment; if you want to ensure perfect camber, I would just buy the whole kinetix kit front and rear with spc toe bolts). If you have people who know what they are doing your alignment will be set all in the green. Mine is, and my car is considerably lower than yours with my JIC's.
I guarranty these pieces will get your camber set back to spec.
FYI, this is what my car looked like before all of those pieces:

Hmm, this really interests me. With the same springs, I know my rear camber is just out of factory spec and I was going to buy the kinetix rear camber arms... but my front cambers are perfect... it really seems like a problem with the spring or the install. Let us know when you figure it out becuase Im interested in what the issue is.
Hey turbomax, does the Kinetix kit all come together and if so how much? I really want to lower but I don't want to fug it up. Once and done! Isn't it about time for another photoshoot by the way....

after allignment -
front left;
camber -1.8
caster 9.0
front right;
camber -2.2
caster 9.6
rear left;
camber -1.4
toe .12
rear right;
camber -1.5
toe .10
with the spc toe and camber kit the rear is in spec.
The front as you can see is way out of wack. going by the specs it should pull to the left, but I was told it pulls to the right because the tires are grabbing that direction.
now I have to buy new front tires, camber kit and another alignment + tire install.
Please anyone let me know if theres another kit out there like 350evo, but half the price. cusco and stillen wont' get you back into factory spec and I'm trying to avoid kinetix.
I'll keep you guys updated if I find more info too.
