For reference, I'm about 0.5" lower than Swifts and here are my before and afters with wheels and tires:


So without front and rear camber kits, your camber difference is only going to be a couple of tenths before/after.
where did you get yours aligned?

Randy Reed Nissan - $89.95 for all four wheels. I can see them charging you the "specialty" fee like Jackson had if you decided to go with camber arms.

Their Z technician is really good and they helped me out a lot on the clutch install and issues.

pbkakta, You might also want to check with our sponsor Santa Fe Garage, They are located just off the Independence Square. They do a lot of specialty alignments for the SCCA Autocross and Road racing guys.

I wouldn't ever skimp on headers. So if you do want headers, either go with Fast Intentions or Momentum (whoever bought the rights, name escapes me at the moment). You can spend a little more money and get a MUCH better header.

Cheap headers nearly always have fitment issues. And sure the lifetime warranty is great, but that isn't going to cover your labor if a weld breaks. And trust me, you don't want to install headers on a VQ twice.

That being said, I would be willing to bet you won't see much for gains with these. Momentum and FI are the only ones I've heard that have made power. The stock VQ37 manifolds are built REALLY well. And for the money and install frustrations, you definitely want to make power.

Here are some pics of the VQ37 manifolds vs the VQ35's (courtesy of Boosted Performance) :

The headers I want are PPE. $1,000 price with labor I'd cry. Yea I put headers in my 350z. I already knew our headers are so much better, I just wanna max out at full bolt on. Went on the 350z forum and a 350z runs these headers and made good gains. After now pushing getting a GTR until I finish school. I'm now gonna do headers. Maybe around tax season next year. Still gotta get rims and a new exhaust.

figured i would give kc guys first dibs

anyone needing (2) 19" tires here in kc? I have 2 almost new nitto neogen's 235/35/19. I'd say they have about 90-95% tread left. These are specifically made for running a slight bit of negative camber. Great tires, I just wanna go a little beefier. I don't have any pics on my work computer but can take some later today if anyone is interested.

$280 OBO
