Default Tanabe GF210 and cambers.

I just ordered the tanabe gf210's and im worried about the cambers. I had an IS250 on 20" Sevas S55's and i remember when i got to like 8k miles my tires in the inside portion were all wasted. I had the Eibach pro in the IS250 that lowered around 1.2" all around. I dont want this to happen with my brand new 350z. Am i going to need to swap the cambers in the front or rear with this kit? BTW, i ordered some RH R7 2pc wheels if that has to do something with this issue. Tires are 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. Thanks alot guys!

I had to go with the NF210 because the GF210 was not in stock.

ok, i just alot more than a search lol. I read where Z1 performance said that the front camber can be adjusted and the rear too? And if the rear doesnt come close to spec then i would need a rear camber kit by SPC?

You will more than likely need the rear camber/toe kit. It's easier just to order it and put it all on at the same time. My camber was wayyyy out of spec when I put on the gf210's. My front is half a degree out of spec, but I live with that, the rear however would've never been close to spec without he camber kit.

So i will get away with the NF210 and the front camber/toe, but i will need the SPC camber and toe for the back right? I just want to get everything 100% right so it doesnt happen to me again since the wheels and tires i got now were not on the cheap side lmao.

a 1.2 drop in front and a 1.2 drop in rear(nf 210's) will definately need adjustable camber setups, even for 1.0 drop in front and 1.0 drop in rear, adjustable camber is still highly reccomended. You can get away with stock camber in the front if your running a 1.0 drop or less, but for the rear anything bigger then a 1.0 drop will need a camber kit or say hello to un-even tread wear.. hopes this helps

front camber is not adjustable at all on a Z from the factory. You would need aftermarket adjustable a arms for that. Front toe is adjustable

Rear camber and toe is slightly adjustable from the factory

I was wanting to order the gf210s but I was also unsure of the uneven tire wear in the rear. I saw where they sell either the camber or toe extended bolts and I was wondering if I could just get that for the rear?
