H&R Springs and Ichiba Rear Cambers Installed
 
6 Attachment(s)
Installed my H&R springs and Ichiba rear camber kit today and love the results. Huge improvement from my stock ride, unfortunately though there have been a lot of bad reviews on the camber kit recently. Has anyone had this installed that can chime in? Luckily the car will be in the garage over the next couple of days so I may just remove them and put the stocks back on. That said, will I be able to adjust the car back to stock alignment? For reference i'm sitting on Hankook 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 out backI've attached before and after pics below.

Should've gone with them...I went swifts n running same size of rims n tires like urs...still got bout inch 1/2 gap...looks like u don't have any gap..

I have about 1/4 gap up front and 1/2 in the back. I've seen in person another z with h&r and the front gap was less than the rears. I also compared mine to swifts and it looked like the swifts were at least 1/2 inch in the front and a bit more in the rear.

I'm thinking you're going to need a camber and maybe a toe kit.

Did you install your camber kit at the same time as the springs? I think I'm going to put my stock kit back on and go get an alignment, see how that checks out and reassess. Will likely go with the SPL read kit if I need it. Did you need a camber kit for the front?

I only have the rear camber kit.

When you did the install did you remove any shock bump stops, or the rubber that goes under the spring perch in the rear?...

The drop looks good but you need some meat on those wheels. I have the Ichiba rear camber arms with swift springs and they're holding up well. Lots of spirited driving and also a few Auto Cross sessions and I'm also on spacers as well. Not a problem here :tup:

Meat....

That was the night I installed the springs so they weren't quite settled.

Camber arms.

What size tires are you running there? Looks great BTW :tup:

Footloose301 09-04-2012 09:30 PM

265/35/19 fronts, 285/35/19 rears. Stock wheels, obviously + spacers and springs.

Thanks

^ very nice... makes me wish my tires needed replacing

Same setup I want! From previous cars that I've had H&R springs on, they never seem to stop settling. From the day I installed, to the day I sold the car, it seemed to get lower and lower.
