Hmm that doesn't sound too bad. Am I right in thinking that there would never be a reason to want to go back to the stock setup? You don't lose anything by cutting the frame and installing these...

Toe bolts necessary?

I’m going to be installing SPL rear camber arms to get my camber back in spec. Right now it is about -2.1 to -2.2 with near perfect toe. Will the SPL camber arms alone be enough to get the camber...

Yeah I think suspension stuff is just too subjective, and I probably need to experience it myself.

However I do think that if the ride is too harsh for me right now, I'm thinking the konis...

I didn't do the install, had a shop do it. I glanced at the springs earlier looking to see if there is anything obviously wrong (like springs installed upside down). Didn't see anything.

I actually quite like the drop because it is so livable, you can actually get up driveways and over speed bumps as long as you use some sense. Looks pretty good too.

Can you give some detail...

Good ideas. I will check the tire pressure. I've been on the springs for maybe 3 weeks, 500 miles. Still using the OEM Bridgestones and yes they are loud and harsh. They still have some life left but...

Maybe the roads where you live are really smooth? My car feels fantastic as long as I'm on a nice road but hitting a bump or undulation in the road at good speed feels pretty harsh for me with the...

The sways in the front are already on the softest setting, the rears are in the middle. I think putting the rears on soft might bias the car more towards understeer but it might be worth trying.

I don't seem to have much bounciness, but hitting some bumps feels more harsh than just stiff/firm. I've ridden in some cars slammed on springs with completely mismatched shocks that felt far worse...

Swift springs + stock shocks = Awful ride?

I recently modified my G37S by adding swift springs and eibach sway bars. I’m loving the drop and the way the car drives on smooth roads but I’ve got to admit that the ride is fairly awful on roads...

Those you you with SPL camber arms, what are you using for rear toe adjustment? Will SPC toe bolts be ok?

I decided to go SPL because I think the NVH shouldn't be imapcted too badly from just installing 2 camber arms with spherical bearings. It is honestly probably overkill for my street driving but I do...

I would like to do this right, but it seems like there aren't very good options for those who want to lower their car but mostly maintain an OE ride. The SPLs are very well built but there is no...

This is my first time running any decent amount of camber, at -2.3 would I wear out the tires that much faster than say -1.4 assuming near zero toe?

Also isn't it undesirable to have such a large...

I thought that since the bearing isn't sealed, dirt and stuff can get into it and hence you regularly need to keep it clean and lubed. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If I could, I would stay on the stock arms but I'm not sure my current alignment is acceptable.

It looks like this:

Toe
Front: 0.00 0.00
Rear: 0.01 0.04

Camber
Front: -1.2 -1.3

How often do the spherical bearings on the SPLs need to be cleaned/lubed? Since they aren't sealed bearings, don't they get dirty quickly?

Fair enough, only options 3 and 4 are being considered. I keep hearing that SPL will increase NVH but I can't find any description on how much worse it really is. If the difference is only mild, I...

So in general what is a good amount of camber in the front and rear (assuming little to no toe) for a daily driver that won't cause too much camber wear? -1.4 front and -1.6 rear decent?

Are the SPL rear camber arms appropriate for a DD car?

Hello,
I actually drive a G37S 6MT that is lowered on swift springs and is daily driven and will likely never see a track. I noticed that there are quite a few more users on these forums who use...
