Awesome.. good to hear. Post some pics when you get them on..

I too would like to thank Josh@Stillen for the outstanding price on my springs and spacers. I held off on the rear spacers because I have one more question. If I go with the 25mm spacer in the rear will I need to change the camber arms to get the camber close to the original specs. If I go with the 20mm spacer can I avoid this, keeping in mind that I will also be dropping it with the Eibach's. Thanks for the help, gotta love the forum!

batman_4.

Are you putting these spacers on a Touring only or Touring + Sport? I've been thinking about these, but only have the touring and didn't know if they would work correctly with the stock 18's. If you are in San Antonio, I'd like to get a look at them once you get them installed so it would be easier to decide. Also, are you going to do them yourself or are you going to have them done at a shop?

Sorry for all the questions....

Tony

Thanks batmann!

I think I have the same question an Tommyguns. I have a 10mm rear spacer and I'm going to put those spacers on the front and put 20mm on the rear and I already think my rear tires/wheels look like the tops are "sunk in" It's a little hard to describe but it looks like the top needs to be pushed out. Is that camber? Is there much adjustment there? How are other 370z's with spacers keeping there wheels/tires looking perfectly vertical. Please let me know if I am not making any sense? I appreciate all your help!

This should answer the camber questions, borrowed from a vendors thread with Eibach Pro-Kit specs with OEM set up and camber after install of Eibachs.

So will the 15mm up front and the 25mm in the rear work with the stock touring 18's?

austex · 12-18-2009, 01:58 PM

anyone have experience with the eibach spacers? They seem to be hubcentric, come in all the sizes, but I wonder how deep the flange is on these compared to the H&Rs?

anyone?

I have 25mm on the front and 20mm on the rear (on the stock 18's) that I bought from another member here - I think the fit is great.

More info click here.

john370z · 12-18-2009, 07:44 PM

I appreciate the help. I think you are referring to the camber specs after installation of eibach springs...not just after adding rear spacers. Can the stock suspension be adjusted to look stock and have proper camber specs with spacers of about 20mm in rear?

tommyguns · 12-18-2009, 10:49 PM

Yes that is what I would like to know.

tcarretti · 12-19-2009, 06:39 AM

So schrute,

Besides the spacers, you didn't need to do any other suspension changes? Sorry to beat this to death, but I just wanted to be sure. Also, which brand of spacers? Ichiba?

Thanks,

Tony

Correct, no other suspension changes. I believe the spaceers are Ichibas, hopefully M.J. will see this and confirm.

Thanks Mike, prior to your response as I was reading this thread I was trying to figure out how spacers would effect camber - seems to me that the plane the wheel occupies relative to the plane of the ground isn't changed by using spacers, just pushed out farther from the hub but at the same relative angle. If I'm missing something someone please let me know.
