BTW, I try not to come to your thread because every time I leave here, I end up with a new mod idea .. lol :icon17: You MUST STOP modding your car!

Hehe...I promise I'll stop soon! :p If anyone is interested in these taillights let me suggest PM'ing Dustin @ Z1! He hooked me up big time! Matched the price of the taillights on an eBay auction and shipped them to me well less than the other places I was considering. :tup:

Whip's lookin beautiful as usual!
I hope u enter that in some car shows!

2theextreme 10-23-2009 07:50 AM

With the JDM taillights and the fog light now, I'm thinking about switching out the 370Z logo with the Fairlady Z logo......I'd only be missing the rear wiper!

CrownR426 10-23-2009 08:16 AM

Nahhhhh!
I don't like that de-badged or switching badges of cars.
Do as you please cause either way your baby will blow people away!

congrats on the sweet ride! I love the stance. I'm shooting for a similar ride height with my coilovers. I don't see mention of rear camber arms in your sig so I'm assuming your running some pretty negative camber? Have you had an alignment done since the coilover install?

Yes, I did.....here's the report:

http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...8&d=1265291111

jmlenz 02-04-2010 11:57 AM

I think thats a lot of negative camber @-4deg in the back...you may want to look into some camber arms to get that back into spec unless you want to eat through those tires in a hurry. Maybe Im not reading that report right but it seems they made adjustments in the wrong direction? Your final camber is more negative than your initial??

I sure hope not....I currently don't have the RE-11's on the car due to the lovely weather we're having.....20 plus inches of snow headed my way this weekend.....:ugh2:.....anyways, when I looked at the RE-11's they appeared to still look pretty good and not worn down much. I only did about 3,000 miles on them. I sure hope I can use them again this coming Spring/Summer.

azn370z 02-04-2010 01:07 PM

Yeah that's a lot of negative rear camber. You should check your rears and see how much tire wear you've got. I wouldn't worry about rear camber If you've got a lot of miles since your drop and very little Tire wear.

jmlenz 02-04-2010 03:40 PM

the specifications in the page you posted are using the specs from an '07 350z, not sure how much it varies to the 370 but either way your running too much neg camber front and rear (especially rear) for street use. Just my .02

2theextreme 03-24-2010 07:14 PM

Had to raise The Smurf......too much tire rub happening on the two front tires. I'm guessing it happened because I went back to the stock tires and rims during winter and just put the Volk's and RE-11's back on about 2 weeks ago.

The "original" first setup with the Volk's & RE-11's:

And now, after the raise just yesterday:

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...%20Rub/009.jpg
http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...%20Rub/003.jpg


And yes, PTuning adjusted the rear camber. It was -4.1....adjusted now to -3.5. I have a rear camber kit coming so I can adjust the camber more. I should have the rear camber kit installed within one to two weeks.

just as an fyi, the rear camber and toe are kinda tied in together on our car. If you adjust one, it affects the other. In order to bring the toe back to a reasonable amount, they had to increase the camber by lengthing the camber arm (pushing the bottom front of the tire out a little more). so they brought him down from about .25 to under .1 toe which will save his tires more than the added .2 degrees of camber.

That being said, I don't think you want to run more than 2.5 degrees of camber for a daily driver Tony :tup:

Finally installed a rear camber kit and I must say I didn't think I'd like giving up the super aggressive look but I think I can get used to it. Also installed the GTSpec 4 point ladder brace & 2 point rear brace.
