Good people of 350z forum,

I have a base model 350z. I will be installing Tein Basic Coilovers, JIC Rear Camber Adjusters, Racing Hart Pro J8 19x9 Front/19x10.5 Rear with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.

I am compiling a installation tip guide for my mechanic so he won't make any mistakes. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Right now my list is as follows, most of the info here I have gathered from the forums.

Wheels/Suspension
Tein Basic Coilovers
Replaces factory springs and struts.

RacingHart J8 Rims 19x9 Front / 19x10.5 Rear
Michelin Pilot Sport a/s All Season Tires
When installing wheels, you may encounter front rotor bolts on the front hub of the car. Aftermarket wheel installation requires the removal front wheel bolts. They keep you from mounting the stock rear wheels in the front during tire rotation and serve no functional purpose. Roll front and rear fenders.

JIC Rear Camber Adjustment Kit
Replace factory rear upper a-arms. When you lower the car you will increase the amount of negative camber. You will be able to see exactly how much negative camber it has. You then will be able to use the camber links to adjust them to as close to -1 degree as possible. I believe the factory spec have -1 degree camber.

 

Sounds like a pretty good set up. Are you planning on getting the front camber kit to correct for camber? Off the top of my head the following companies make camber kits 1) 350evo 2) Performance Nissan 3) Kinetix 4) SPC. The stock front suspension cannot adjust for camber when going lower.

I'm not familiar with the 350Z fender clearance since I have the G but I presume it would depend on how low you go with the coilovers. Also, if I'm not mistaken it would also depend on the wheel offsets.

 

Just wanted to say .. your wheels are RH Pro, not RacingHart Pro. FAIK there is no such thing as RacingHart Pro.

RH Pro & RH Evo are Dazz Motorsports products.

http://www.dazzmotorsports.com/company.asp
Since the founding of the company in 1989, the firm has established itself as the market leader in both the "Tuner" and "Premium" vehicle marketplace, and has solidified long-term relationships with many premier product lines, such as Lowenhart, Hartge, RacingHart, MAE and MVR, as well as establishing its own exclusive product brands of Maya, RH Pro, and RH Evo.

Of course, Dazz just happens to advertise RH Pro products with RacingHart products .. do you think it's a coincidence?

 

Also, there are no upper A-arms in the rear. The JIC piece is just a camber rod, not an A-arm.

 

what size tires are you putting on the rear?

 

hey gq_626, love the pic on your sig.

 

245/35/19 front and 27535/19 in the back.

ok, RH Pro. i stand corrected.
