Just had my Eibach's installed along with Brake Performance rotors, I'm saving the camber kit for Forged and my wheels when they get in. Eyeballing it though it doesn't look like you need a camber kit at all, still good to be safe.

Ridewize.. night and day.. really happy with the looks, handling and squat squash. It's too bad we're out of Premium gas down here.. I really want to drive it more but have to be conservative for a few more weeks.

You will need a camber kit on the front. I had my springs on about a month to let them settle and took it in for an alignment. There is no front adjustment at all and it ends up being quite a ways out of spec.

SPC is almost done with the proto type. I know it is taking a long time but I will contact them next week and see if they are finished with the proto-type to test fit.

Second day after springs install, car's just sat there.. damn gas crisis. It would appear I have a bit more of a drop, expecially if it settles from here, interesting. Just curious, did everyone put the tight coils up top, to where you can read the text?

20's and a little settling should make this perfect. Love the muscle car rake on these.

Front


Rear

I see on the news about the gas problem in your area. They said more was on the way and it was just distribution in Southeast. Not getting any better?

Would you mind posting a measurement ground to edge of fender for front and rear?

I bought these springs as well...they just came in today! and yes you are suppose to install the springs where you can read the letters, not upside down.

Yes, still out of both high grades.. it never last long when it does come in. Hopefully within a week it will be better. Here's a side view.

Final Results

I've been a little slow at posting final results, but here they are.

Front: 26 3/4. No change from first install.
Rear: 26 7/8. Initially 27.

Note per my other post, the right rear side was and still is about 1/4" higher than the left rear. A couple of others have reported this as well.

Had alignment done at PTuning in Manassas, VA and I attached the results. Notice that they used specs for 2007 G35 with 18". I am not an alignment expert so anyone know if that is a problem?

Front camber is out of spec, but nothing I can do until SPC releases a front camber kit which is supposedly in the works.

I really like the ride so far.

Here's the specs for the G37S. Someone complained once about uneven tire ware, according to the guy I talked to at this High Performance alignment shop, inner tire ware is normal on this car, if you'll notice negative camber is a specification and desgin element of this car. It's too be expected.

Thanks for the specs. Looks like specs between G35 and G37 are only slightly different. Good news is that I compared my results against your specs and it appears I am still in tolerance except for front camber.
