Lets start with coilovers...

Coilovers are you basic suspension component your stock coilovers are non adjustable. Now the aftermarket sells multiple types of adjustable coilovers that allow you to adjust a few things about your car (Height, Rebound, and Compression).

Rebound is the speed at which your suspension returns to its upward position.

Compression is the rate at which your suspension will compress.

Camber Kits:

Camber kits serve as one purpose to replace the OEM units with a unit that allows much more adjustability in camber and toe. As you lower a car the suspension whether stock or aftermarket begins to go negative in camber meaning your tires begin to tuck into the fender wells. The front of the 370z is non adjustable from the factory. SPC makes an adjustable kit for the front so that as you lower your car you can add or subtract as much camber as you desire. This allows you to make the wheels tuck into the car or push outward to a zero camber setting.

Toe is the angle of which the tires face... as in pointing in or pointing out. Too much in either direction and the car becomes unstable.


Hope this helps some
