Question Camber angle help please...

I have been trying to search for answers on this forum and so far, I haven't been able to get detailed/reliable answer... I was hoping I can get some expert help from anyone who is knowledgeable. =)

(1) What is the stock camber angle for the 08 Z?

(2) Since I am going with this setup, lowering it 1.25-1.5 inches... should I keep the stock camber angle to minimize tire wear?

front: 19x9.5 +19, 245/35/19 Falken-452
rear: 19x10.5 +17, 275/35/19 Falken-452
Tein Type Flex coilovers with EDFC

(3) And finally, if I am going with the Tein Flex, which has the pillowball mounts with adjustable camber, I do not need a SPC camber kit for front and back right?

Thanks in advance! =)

Those sare generic "features" we dont get that feature! For lowering 1" or more I would invest in the camber arms/toe bolts from www.iapdirect.com for the rear suspension That should get you back in spec. Rear camber limit is -1.6 degrees. Good luck!

Climb under your car and look at the suspension. The angle of the "strut" has nothing to do with the camber of the tire. The camber on this car is not adjustable from the factory.

Just wondering if there was a JDM company that makes high quality camber kits. Anyone highly recommend SPC? Any problems with SPC camber kits?

There is nothing wrong with SPC camber kits. They are the best bang for the buck. It's such a simple part and they have a good design. The kit includes toe bolts as well.
