Default can someone comfirm that gf210=no camber?

planning to get springs on my car; just for daily driving and i'm not planning to autocross or anything like that; can someone comfrim that gf210 doesn't need camber kit? i've search and found people say yes and people say no. i know its a 1.0f and 1.2r but ive read people saying they had no threadwear and no camber kit just allignment; I own an 350Z-06 by the way. I was either going with the gf210 or the tein s-tech. but if i'm going to need camber kit for gf210 ill just go with the teins.

usually anytime you drop the 350z over 1" you will need the camber kit

yeah that's what i've read but people are saying they didn't need camber and some say yes, i've got a guy who said he's had it for 1year and no camber wear. im split between the s-tec and gf210. the techs don't drop much but i know for sure no camber is needed and the gf210 is a nice drop but not sure yet on camber status, I just need someone to clarify.

you dont NEED a camber kit with any suspension... you will still beable to get the car aligned with itself... just not within factory spec's which are already negitive to begin with...

see this thread on how to extend your tire life...

https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension-diy/137762-how-to-rotate-staggered-directional-tires.html

more camber will only take a 1000 miles or so off the life of your tires...

over the years on this board there are more people posting that OEM alignment specs are not possible at drops of 1" or more, than there are people posting that they have no camber issues.

of the few people "claiming" to have no alignment issues, i have not seen one post their alignment specs after the install.

if you want confirmation, ask those people to post a scan of their alignment spec sheet. then i'll believe it.

edit - and jason is also correct. there is the option of just running more aggressive camber. just make sure you can get the toe in spec.
