pretty sure someones asked but i need a for sure answer and something more current, some answers are from 2010-2012.

im kinda new to this forum, anyways i recently got some ksport coils, i want to know exactly how hard it is to install on my own.... ive done extensive research and watched tons of videos, doesn't seem like rocket science.

and when i lower my car how much camber am i looking at, i wanna close the wheel gap till i get some new rims....

 

People screw it up more often than they do it right, very few are actually installed right. Don't worry, most shops are clueless and part of the problem.

How much camber will you have, depends on how low you go. Closing the gap is pretty much slamming the car, they rear will be out of Spec and not able to be fixed without extra parts

 

what EXACTLY do i need? i know i need a camber kit but will i need other parts?

 

Camber "kit".... uhhh, well.... uh...

What you'll need - at minimum:

Front: Adjustable UCAs

Rear: Toe eccentric (maybe) and adjustable camber arms for sure.

I run SPC based on recommendation by Rob at Z Car Garage but there are lots of alternatives out there, SPL being at the upper end, Kinetix and others that are less expensive. Some swear by their brands and SPC works for me but others hate 'em.

My recommendation is - since you already have the coilovers, go ahead and install 'em using this method I happened to have outlined just yesterday here: https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...l#post10723941

Following installation, have alignment checked and go from there. Rule of thumb (and I emphasize THUMB vs absolute because this varies from car to car): going < 1" lowering, you stand a chance at NOT having to install camber adjustment; going > 1" lowering, almost mandatory to install the adjustment gear.

But again, that's just GENERAL in nature. I'm lowered 22mm but still opted for camber adjustment to save tires and preserve steering response. But that's just me.

Good luck!

 

Most people can get away with just a rear kit ( camber arm and toe bolts, toe arm if you went true coilover) the front will be out of spec camber only. Since you live in SD, if you like to hit the canyons often ; the added camber will actually save your tires in the long run. If you don't play in the corners, you may wan a front kit

 

alright thank you so much !
