It appears that there is quite a diverse opinion on whether or not to add a camber and toe kit for the front and rear of the Z once the swift springs are installed. I read through the majority, probably half of, the 44 pages and quite a few of you say no camber or toe is necessary to make proper adjustments the other half say yes. So my question is if I am putting on 20" wheels, and I'm sure many of you have already learned trial an error, should i put camber and toe adjustments on, and which brand is recommended. My Z is not a daily driver but when I do drive it I want to be able to drive without worrying about screwing up a $500 tire, or when I bring it to the track not have the car perform properly.
Not sure what to do?????
The deal is all 370Z's are not the same and some tolerate a drop better than others. You will just have to install, then get an alignment and see where you are at.

I was one of the lucky ones. No camber kits at all. -1.4 front and -1.9 rears.

ditto

but from all the sets I've sold (50+ springs) I've had majority not need the camber kit so chances are you won't either

If you want to go the easy route and do it yourself, get 20mm front and back, then get the type 2 that you bolt on without removing the studs. That way you can easily remove them yourself if you get new wheels later on! You need 20mm up front as the front wheels will not fit with 15mm unless you install longer studs...
