BAD NEWS GUYS! I just came back from Infiniti Dealership the tech was honest enough to tell me that he cannot align the car because the camber is off (that was after he took the car in) he also told me he was probably able to bring ONLY the toe up but he wasnt to sure. He did mentioned to get camber n toe for the front and rear from STILLEN (yes he knew about them). So there you have it for those of you who had doubts and those who thought you dont need alignment because your wheel looks straight think again...

I'm a little confused with this whole issue of front and rear camber. I understand that by lowering the car, you are losing some contact point with the tires and the pavement. Camber corrects this issue right? So what exactly would I need after this drop to completely correct that issue? I guess im confused about what camber and toe really mean. So does this hint that we'd need camber kits, front AND rear?

i LOVE to have a lil negative camber, helps on the corners. If you have too much, your car can get a bit squirmy in the heavy rain and snow.
If anything, my tires wear fast on the outside... so the negative camber would help even thing out. If you dont like to enjoy curves and corners in your car... you MAY notice uneven wear.
Btw... the car comes from the factory with a slightly negative camber since this supposed to be a luxury sports car, or GT car.

Just a lil tidbit of info....also check your tire pressure. Its one of the most tedious things to do as we all know but improper tire pressure will chew your tires out super fast. Although this variable seems small compared to the camber......every lil bit helps as we all know the tires arent cheap.

amen to that... and im also very **** about tire pressure. i got a digital pressure gauge to check that frequently.
i've even been known to randomly check my friend's tires when they are not looking and tell them if they are low.
lol
good tip. thanks

Check the vendor thread, i'm doing a two week special or until i run out
here's the link. https://www.myg37.com/forums/supporting-vendors/184266-eibach-pro-kit-and-spc-rear-camber-combo-special-from-amplified-motorsport.html
Just incase you guys are wondering if you need the camber kit. Here were my specs when i dropped my car with the less agressive tanabe springs
before: left rear: -2.6 right rear: -2.4
after: left rear: -2.1, right rear: -2.1
thats all they can do on the with the stock camber arm.
Im installing the camber arm on my car this week so i can get my rear re-alligned before i wear out my Dunlops
