H&r springs and spacers

I just bought the H&R springs for my g37s and wanted to know if I would have any problems with rubbing, and what I may need from spacers to camper kits, thanks.

If you are running stock wheels i would get some 15mm spacers to make it flush. H&R's are pretty low so i would also invest in an SPC rear camber kit. Post pics!

So would I need 15mm all around, plus a rear camber kit. What all would I need to make it flush with no problems? thanks

I'm going through the same stuff, from what I've read and researched you will definitely need the camber kits front and rear, esp. with the H&Rs. As far as rubbing goes that seems to be a problem unique to each individual, depending on what wheels and tires they use. There seems to be no exact formula when it comes to the rubbing and trimming etc.

I asked my hubby about that stuff and he said the same thing, and that "we" (yea right) would deal with it when we install it all. I ordered Tein springs and SPC front camber kit and Ichiba rear. From what I understand the Ichiba is the same thing as the SPC just a different badge, but it's cheaper. At least that is what I have read and have been told by many members. Anyway, good luck to you also. Use the search function....A LOT!

Spacers push the wheels out towards the fender for your flush look. Camber kit straighten out the wheel so you don't have uneven tire wear.

Right, 15mm all around then, and front plus rear camber kits should make me good? Or what about 10mm in front and 15mm in the rear?

With the H&R's you will definitely want a camber kit and dont go more than 15mm on the spacers or you will run in to rubbing issues.

This may be off topic but here are a few pointers since you seem new to forums.

1) One thread per topic is more than enough, creating multiple threads won't get you anymore (new) responses since all users can see both threads

2) You can always correct typos by editing your post. There's no need to post again with **

3) Start a thread in it's proper subforum (I moved this thread for you to the Brakes & Suspension subforum)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

As for H&R spacers, you'll definitely require a camber kit otherwise they'll eat up your tires madly. I suggest you get the springs first, install them and wait for them settle in (2 weeks give or take) Then figure out how much you want to space out. Be prepared for some trimming though

Alright, thanks. So you suggest I just install the springs with stock wheels, and get a rear camber kit? Then in 2 weeks buy some spacers?
