Btw DIGItonium, whenever you get that INGS+1 kit on, can you measure how low it ends up being to the ground. I'm planning to get it eventually but wanna see how much I would scrape it up.
Those little rubber flaps in front of the tires are about 2 inches from the ground now and the sport pkg front diffuser is about 3 inches and they scrape on my driveway lol My FI exhaust cans are now 3.5 inches from the ground and haven't scraped them yet... And on second look today, the rear camber does look like it's in the -2 degree range. I probably won't end up getting a camber kit and just live with the tire wear since it doesn't look like the wear would be much better with a 1 degree difference. We'll see how it goes after my alignment next week.

Pretty much looked at all options and gonna settle on 245/40/19 & 285/35/19. Anything lower profile on the fronts will have me scraping the driveway. These have a 1.57 inch difference in section width. The stock tires difference in section width is 1.18 so I am hoping the difference will not place too much more understeer. The additional 5mm difference of the wheel spacers between Fr & Rr should compensate for the extra understeer....fingers crossed. Your car looks hawt! |

Don't want to be redundant but just to clarify~ I should receive my swift's along with H&R spacers (15mm front, 20mm rear) on Monday according to FedEx.. Based on what I've read I'll more than likely need a rear camber kit but should be close enough to OEM specs with the front? Thanks to all you guys this thread has been amazing.

After a day the springs settled some more and the camber changed a bit more. With the 305 tires, it seems like the strongest contact is on the inner half of the tire. It needs to be adjusted some more, so I'm probably going to get the camber kit and alignment done once the car gets shipped over to Baker in June. Quote:
Here are some daytime pictures as the springs has settled a little bit more. The formula silver wheels contrast the gunmetal wheels off of tsolin01's car.

Sounds like I should just go ahead and order the rear camber arms and pop 'em in while I'm doing the spring install.

My Swift springs will arrive today! Looking forward to getting them installed on my 40th this weekend. I put 15mm spacers all around last weekend and realized I really need a drop too

SPC Upper Coontrol Arms do have caster adjustment.....BUT....when I had them on my 350Z it was a trade off for camber...meaning if I wanted to be in OEM spec that the caster was going to be more on the forward slant...meaning high speed instalbility...which I never felt any instability at 100 + mph...but not driving at thoses speeds for any substained amount of time.

As far as an Upper Control Arm, I am hoping not. I am currently on Eibachs 0.09 drop Fr on stocker tire 245/40 and I am at -1.5 & -1.6 which is at the far end of OEM spec actually it's a mm out of range but that is the setup I wanted to keep the rear camber setting. I will def post up my alignment spec sheet once I get the alignment done with my new Swift springs. |

Woohoo, just got my springs today. I am hoping to get everything installed as soon as I get my H&R spacers for the front!

I got my rears to -1.9 without a rear camber kit. Tires have been fine so I am leaving it the way it is. Woot!!!
