You definitely need to get an alignment. As I recently learned, when you lower a car you change the camber and toe. I didn't know this when I lowered my car right after I bought it, as it was the first time I had a lowered car. It cost me a set of tires, but lesson learned

Also, in order to align it properly, you will need an adjustable camber kit. I found that out after my first alignment couldn't get it within spec.

Hello Tonybell_57, thank you for your input, much appreciated.

Everyone, I would like to thank you for all your valuable input, its great to see the 370z in action trying to provide a fix.

Reeps!!! I Cant thank you enough for suggesting "Good Roads" now "Elite Roads". my problem has been fixed, believe it or not, it was something so simple that i couldnt belive it myself!!!!!! it was as simple as a tire balance with an "index" adjustment!!!!! problem fix, my beauty is smooth as silk and i'm a happy 370z driver again!!!!!!

once again, thank you All for your input, much appreciated.
