Do I NEED a Camber Kit?
Hello, to anyone that has a good understanding of general car alignment principles, please offer your expertise. Thanks!
Over the weekend I installed the Eibach Pro-Plus Kit on my 2010 370Z Sport. First off, I'll say that the car rides and handles so much better. Eibach makes a quality product. The OE parts I removed looked and felt very cheap compared to the Eibach parts. If I would have known the car would feel this good, I would have made this my very first MOD. Anyhow, I took my car in for an alignment and from what I can tell, the left rear camber reading is way out-of-line. Would you suggest getting a camber kit for the whole car or just the rear? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks! See the before and after alignment reading below.

I say, YES, but that's me. I run both front and rear camber kits on my Z.
|
I'd be more concerned with why that one wheel is so far out of spec than worrying about camber kits...
I'd say get the rear camber kit for sure. If you can afford the front right now, do it. If not, do it when you can. Negative camber in the front helps maintain a good contact patch in turns. |
Yes. A camber kit is cheaper than a new set of tires.

My specs a few months after a after a spring install (Swift Spec-R) were similar to yours.

Def get a rear camber kit. The SPC kit is very reasonable and the SPL kit isnt too much more. Like they said it is cheaper to get a rear camber kit than to replace the tires due to the excessive wear.
I am about to pick up a set of Swifts and going to go ahead and install the rear camber kit when I do for peace of mind and to definately get it within spec. Not going to leave it to chance. |
I had -2.8 rear camber with Swifts and added the SPC Camber kit. I now have -1.2 rear camber with 305's.... much better.

Thanks!
Camber kit it is. Ordered them already. Thanks again! Drive hard. Have fun. Be safe! |
op- wat you need is a re-alignment.
|
Get the camber arms put on first then get re-aligned.
