need camber HELP!!!!
so the very inside on all 4 of my tires has been going bald and then the rest of the tire still has plenty of tread left. i have been rotating the tires by dismounting them but that is a hassle.. i was wondering what i need to do to fix this?
do i need to get a a camber kit?
and what alignment specs should i run to help save my tread life and not rub at the same time?
my set up:
Tein flex dropped 3/4 of the way
volk 19x10.5 +25 w/275 & 9.5 +28 w/245

There are no specific set of camber spec that gaurantees no rubbing as everyone's setup is different. It's more like trial and error, to start things off get a set of camber kit, go to a reputable alignment shop and do a oem spec alignment. If it rubs, then adjust it accordingly.

Did you align the car after it was lowered?

i bought the car with the coilovers and rims already on it. so idk if the car was aligned before i got it or not, but i know it still has the stock camber arms.
i believe the car is dropped somewhere from 1-2 inches.. but when i let go of the steerign wheel when im just cruising, it goes perfec5ly strait

best to read here:
https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...ion-101-a.html
all the alignment figures and specs are in that thread, take it to an alignment shop and post up the alignment sheet to show before and after pics...
oh and I would bet cash your oem compression rod bushing is torn to hell! if so, replace that first as an alignment will be a waste of cash...
to check the compression rod bushing - jack the front of the car up with or with out wheels, doesnt matter, get a flashlight and look at the compression rod bushing...odds are its cracked to hell...

edit, also, are the coilovers set up properly?? measure everything left to right and ensure symmetry....
