Where can you order the spacer from? Some of the site I looked in doesn't list them. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough or something.

Give Lou at Amplified a call, I think he still has some in stock, or you could go direct to Ichiba's website. Lou will prob give a better price though.

Looks Awesome.

After I installed the Eibachs my camber went to about -1.6 front and -2.7 rear. I could not move that number to the more positive side. I'll be putting rear camber control arms on in the near future.

Thanks bro!:tup:

I just ordered my Eibach springs yesterday. I knew that the camber would change, but does those negative camber numbers wear the tires and hinder the handling of the car a lot? I was also planning to put 15mm spacers in the front and rear. Will that make it worse? :confused:The camber kits are really pricey.

What was the toe and caster settings? I believe your fronts are off by about -.20 and rears by -5.5.

I was reading the other forum and the guy had either 20 or 25mm spacers and it created more negative camber. So i believe with the drop and the spacers will create even more negative camber. I'm not sure how much negative camber creates excessive tire wear.

which companies make camber kits for the 370?

From memory the toe was about 0.0 front and 0.05 rear. The caster was about 5.0.

Rear off -5.5?

spc makes them now boss:tup:

any luck with the fronts? i read that due to the front brakes, it was not possible to mount the same style spacers. not sure if there is any validity to that, just want to check before i order em up.

you know how much? can ya pm me?

I'm sorry I meant -.55.

Hi Alan, how much do you think that negative camber will effect tire wear and handling? I ordered the pro kit but haven't installed them yet, a little concerned at the findings.

Thanks..

bump, are the front spacers on yet?

Musashi,

The negative camber will accelerate the wear, that is a given. As to how much on the Bridgestones I don't have the answer. My guess is that if I leave it there the rears won't see 10k.

I'd like to get the rear closer to -1.8/-2

Sorry for going off topic here but I have a quick question.

I'm thinking of dropping my car a bit and I'm a bit confused about the difference between coilover and springs. From what I've gathered:

Springs - cheaper, unadjustable
Coilover - more expensive, adjustable

Am I somewhat correct?

You're pretty much right.

Basically coilovers are a spring, shock absorber package that is designed to work together. The better ones are height adjustable (but not by definition), and the real good ones (typically for the track oriented) have adjustable valving for compression and rebound.

Lowering springs work by simply replacing the stock spring with one that is slightly shorter but has a similar spring rate to the stock unit so that it will be compatible with the stock shock absorber.

I just installed my prokit.Mission completed...no more wheel gap. I didnt notice too much of a difference in the camber....I do know it changed, i just plan to wait until other camber kits come out.

My car was at -2.2 (stock) on the rears at 1000 miles when I lowered it. That is within factory spec. It's at -2.5 now and will be leaving it there. it handles better!

awesome pics! looks really good with the spacers

looks great. I ran a similar setup on my 06 G35 coupe... Eibach springs with spacers 15(F)/20(R) combo. I really like that look on the 370Z, fills that beautiful rear fender flare.

Anyone know if 15mm spacers will fit with 305 width tires on the stock 19x10 wheel? If so, how much rubbing?

Should be fine :tup: There are others on here that are running 305's on a 10.5 rim with +22 offset. This effectively moves the edge of the rim out 14mm more then stock. So a 15mm spacer would be almost the same. :tup:

So based off of Phimosis' findings we should be fine dropping it with just springs? I want to do springs and sways, but i dont want to eat tires like crazy.

Any real differences between Ichiba's wheel spacers version I & II?

Ichiba says the strength/durability/precision is the same between type I and type II. It's easier mounting for type II since you leave stock studs in place, but minicobra says you cant use type II up front and type II is a little heavier than type I.

Do you think a 20mm spacer would work?

Yes, I installed 20mm spacers (Rear) on Saturday :tup: there is a very subtle difference from the 15mm, I tooks some pics but you cant really notice it in the photos. (I didn't post them, b/c you won't see the diff, before and after) You could probably go 25mm if your car was dropped and you didn't adjust out the negative camber. :tup:

good to know as i was planning on going 20mm rear. wouldn't 25mm be stretching it though....i've always be cautious about spacers for some reason.

are the 20mm on yet?

i've been reading around and it seems not a lot of people are changing their shocks. is this not an issue with the Z when lowering?

I believe that it's just too early to tell.

i got the 20mm spacers. and going with a camber kit to get that **** flush

Its always recommended to change the shocks when lowering. Some people just throw lowering springs on the stock shocks then change them when they blow. Def easier to do both at once though.

on my 350 i ran 2 years on stock shocks with Tanabe NF springs (not that BIG of a drop) and had no issues with shocks :tup:

after those 2 years i went back to stock height (springs) and they where fine :driving:

quick question guys is the drop from the pro kit actually noticeable? i just wanna close the fender gap inbetween my tires... im not gonna actuallyu track it because there is no full course track where i live...

I think it makes a difference in appearance, you can really tell when you are next to a stock 370Z, it's about 7/8 of an inch. I do have people that ask me if the car is lowered, so I think it is low enough where people have to ask.

Personally I think another 1/2 inch lower would be perfect, one reason I"m thinking of switching to coilovers. On the other hand I'm a bit concerned with scraping on speed bumps and driveways. As it stands now I rub the front chin spoiler and wheel wind deflectors quite a bit lately. The other night I scraped the exhaust pipes pretty good on this one driveway, even though I"m extremely careful and always go at an angle. I also notice some scrape marks on the flex pipes of my Nismo exhaust when I changed the oil a few weeks back.

i was afraid of that scraping already... which would get a lower drop the eibachs... or the tanabes? all i really want is an inch and 1/4 drop no lower.... is there any drop springs that just do a inch flat?
