Calling all Eibach users

Hey guys, I wanted to get the feed back of all the owner with Eibach PRO-KIT Performance Springs. I have an 09 G37X coupe that when I purchased, came with these springs. I couldn't help but notice the front and rear tire have negative camber (top of tire points inward). After doing some light research both on here and Eibachs site, I found the PRO-ALIGNMENT Kit, but that's only for the rear tires. I saw that some people put wheel spacers on their cars. Not sure how much that's going to help my issue. My question is to the people with these springs (specifically) the coupes, what have you guys done to fix the neg. camber issue for the front tires?

Thanks for any input

- Steven

SPC front and rear camber arms. I believe with Eibach springs, your camber will still be within specs but barely. Camber arms would be recommended if you want to straighten it out more and have better tire wear.

Spacers will not help adjusting negative camber since spacers are for pushing the wheels out.

Thanks a lot ReddieG37. I checked out SPCs website and it kinda sucks, but thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

So I found this kit here. I'm assuming this is what you're talking about SPC Front and Rear Combo INFINITI G37 2008 - 2011 72260 + 72130

every car is slightly different but you probably won't need a front camber kit.

Why do you want to fix the camber? The car comes with negative camber from the factory. Its designed that way on purpose. Slight negative camber enhances the handling of a vehicle. The slightly negative camber you get with eibach springs will never present you any problems. Just get it as close to factory as possible. Pointless in spending tons of money on camber kits and such for this drop.

EnviedG35, I know most cars come with slight negative camber. From looking at stock g37s and comparing them to mine, mine is way too negative. I know there is something out of line with my setup. I'll try to post pics of what I'm talking about.

Yeah that's pretty bad, have you tried getting an alignment? Lot of people are able to keep it in spec without the SPC Camber Kits, I got the rear just to be safe and got my alignment done after the Eibach install.
Looks like I'll be safe without the front camber arms, which is good because those are pricy lol

But yeah if an alignment won't fix it you'll need to get the SPC Rear camber kit with toe bolts and get that installed then get it aligned.

Contact Charles with B2autodesigns, a vendor here on the forums, he'll be able to give you good advice, and a good price if you need the SPC's.

Yes sir, that's the one, make sure you get someone that knows what they're doing.
The toe bolt is bigger then stock so the hole has to be elongated with a dremel tool.
It comes with instructions, so the person should be able to do it that you hire.
