Lowering Springs Setup Question

/Angelo350Z/

I ran the OEM wheels and tires with Swift springs without camber kits, and after 10K miles, there were no signs of alarmingly uneven tread wear. I switched to aftermarket wheels (19x9.5 +20 and 19x11 +15) and tires (265/35 and 305/30) a few weeks ago (pic on my sig) and will lower the Z a little more with Ark GT-S springs later in the month. Even then, I'm still not sure whether to invest on camber kits. As you can see the wheels aren't exactly sunk in, but I can fit at least 5mm spacers in the rear once the GT-S springs are installed. My goal is to achieve the best compromise between camber and flushness while remaining functional.

Is the picture of your car with swifts? And just to be clear, you have neither the front or rear suspension on aftermarket camber kits?

That's right, I have neither front or rear camber kits. And yes, my car in the picture, including my sig, are on Swift springs. Here's another picture of my Z on Swift springs to illustrate how unnecessary, in my opinion of course, camber kits are when just slightly dropped.



For what it's worth, the Ark GT-F and Swift Spec-R springs have identical drops of 1.2" front and 1.0" rear. The GT-S drops the Z a little more at 1.4" front and 1.2" rear. Again, whether you use camber kits with your Ark springs or not is entirely up to you.
