so in shopping around for springs as well as rear camber arms and toe bolts i came across this:
spc rear camber bolts 370z, g35, g37
in the notes it states “2 kits are required for independent toe and camber adjustability.” does this mean i can get away with getting an extra set of bolts in lieu of camber arms? Obviously an advantage of this would be cost, but what would the disadvantage(s) be?

If my research concludes to just buying the camber arms i also have another question. Does anyone have any experience with spc camber arms with xaxis?
spc performance camber arms kit with xaxis - 370z, g35, g37 | kamispeed.com
i noticed they are straight while the other arms (spc and spl) are angled to prevent them from hitting the sway bar under suspension travel.

maybe i am overthinking this and i should just go for the tried and true spl camber arms w/ spc toe bolt rear setup.

thank you

Yes, indeed!

Oh, and you may also want to consider picking up these too.

So I'm pretty overwhelmed. I really want to get some swift springs with spacers but I really don't understand what else I need to get with it. I don't know anything about this really except I know that I really want that look, and it sounds like the ride is improved with the swifts so thats a plus.

After doing some reading it sounds like I just need to figure out how and where to get SPL camber arms w/SPC toe bolt rear setup, and also what exactly that is because I don't know. Is there anything else I'm gonna need to get besides that? Id really like to get it all taken care of at the same time.

Sounds like after about a week Ill need to get an alignment. Will the springs last a while? What about my oem shocks? How will I know when its time to replace them? Im sorry for the dumb questions this is just something I really want to do but feel really overwhelmed. Also I do have fast intentions exhaust, does anyone have problems with the cans scraping??
Thanks!!!

You pretty much got it. Kamispeed is a good source for all the things on your list. Give them a call and they'll make sure you get what you need. Then drive a couple hundred miles and get aligned. I suggest dead zero front toe, 1/16" total rear toe in, with somewhere around -1.75 camber. You'll love it the look and handling.

You're right on with your list of parts, but you might want to consider picking up these too - https://www.z1motorsports.com/g37_37...oducts_id=4862.

The springs should last for a long, long time. Also, shocks these days tend to last for a long time, so I don't think you need to worry about them, unless you regularly drive on some gosh-awful roads.

Others will chime in, I'm sure, regarding your other questions. Good luck and go for it. You won't regret going with Swifts. I smile every time I look at my car now. It's the way Nissan should have made it to begin with!
