H&R springs no Camber Kit

yoshi1975 · 01-20-2014, 07:37 PM

hello Team,

earlier this month i placed a thread regarding wheels for my 2011 370Z and all the advice was successful, very pleased. Now comes the question, I’m considering H&R springs with less than an inch, now, would I need a camber kit or can I get away with just the lowering springs?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Yoshi

H&Rs will drop more than an inch, you'll need a camber kit

Yes, I agree with Grindkiezer

I don't understand why a camber kit is required, does the Z not offer slight camber adjustment stock? Are camber bolts not an option for the rear?

Toe bolts are an option in the rear.

If you lower the car, at all, expect to buy camber arms and toe bolts. There's not enough adjustment in the stock stuff. If you do the camber arms and toe bolts at the same time you have your springs installed, you'll save a lot in labor and alignment costs. Arms and bolts are cheaper than frying a set of tires.

Get the springs installed, drive it for a few weeks, then check alignment. Most likely will need camber kit. With Swifts, I was able to get away from a camber kit!

Not a bad idea. The only catch is you have to pay labor again if you end up needing to add the arms and bolts. Since most of us end up needing them, you can save a couple bucks that way.

I've got Swift springs and 20mm H&R spacers @ all 4 corners.

Camber arms & toe bolt in the rear, nothing needed up front.

I would say, just do it right and buy the camber arms for the front and rear. There is minimal adjust in the stock suspension. I am dropped on H&R springs and I had some massive camber after the drop. I maxed out the camber arms and now I am at -.7 on each side.
