Not without an aftermarket upper A-arm that has camber adjustments.

Is the G35 the only car you have to spend as much for parts as the supension itself to get the correct numbers?

The camber in stock form is not adjustable. However, there are aftermarket bolts that can be used to allow a +/-.5 deg change. This is used in many cases when front end damage is repaired. How else do you think these body shops correct camber issues? They don't go out and buy an adjustable A-arm, they just put in these eccentric bolts and re-align the suspension.

As far as I have researched - this is not true. I have spoken to someone at a frame/alignment shop, whom I've known for about 18 years, and these cars will require either frame pulls and/or new arm purchases to re-adjust camber after a hit....or the aftermarket arms that are adjustable.

Cars that have the adjustments to begin with can use longer bolts, aftermarket, to make further adjustments over stock, to forego frame alignments or expensive parts replacments.

Sounds like shady practices to me.

You will highly regret it. You will eat through tires much faster than you want. Its either spend the money now on camber kits or spend much more money later on camber kits AND tires. If money is an issue, at least do the rear camber kits as they are much cheaper than the front kits. Check out www.camberkit.com for the rear kit for your vehicle.

PM me if you have any questions.
