So confusing from reading other posts!!!

I want to buy swift springs for my 370z. I want to be in factory specs everywhere. Will I need to buy a front and rear camber kit? What is the advantage of it? Do tires wear out faster if I lower the car?

Lowering increases camber, wearing your tires out faster.

You will "need" a rear camber kit, and best bet is to get some rear toe bolts. The front won't be too far out of whack and can be adjusted to within factory specs

I did front and rear. Z1 has a really good package deal.

Do you have to do front? I mean I will do rear for sure. If I don't do front will my tires wear out a lot faster?

It depends on your alignment results. My fronts and rears were both slightly out, so I did both. It's a lot cheaper than burning through a set of tires. If your alignment is in spec, then don't bother.

So if My alignment comes back perfect then I don't need to buy any camber kit?

Yeah, but the rear is almost a given

Alright last question. So If I buy the rear camber kit with toe bolts and get an alignment after installation I should be good to go? worry free right?

Also SPC adjustable front arms.

Get the front kit, too.

If you just do the rear and get an alignment, you may find out you need to do the front too. If you're paying for each alignment, it can add up. If you're paying labor on springs, might as well do all the arms and minimize labor costs.

Damn lowering is pricey. Thanks for the information guys

Doing it right is still a lot cheaper than buying new tires every 5k miles because you can't get your alignment in spec.

ubs234 · 09-30-2013, 08:10 PM

Well I don't understand why i need camber kits at all actually. They are just springs for daily driving. And If I get alignment done after i install springs shouldnt i be good?
