The RWD G37 seem to fare better with Swift springs, but all the AWD Gs with Swifts(including mine) had about -2.0 front and -1.8 rear without aftermarket camber arms.

 

I'm aiming for zero toe.

Will wait a month or so and see if the springs settle a bit more.

I'm not overly concerned about these tires as I will be getting a new set down the road.

My plan is to get the rear kit done soon, and then the front kit done when I get the new tires.

When I add up Springs + install + alignment + SPL kits + alignment this will be the most expensive mod I've ever done on any of my cars

 

agreed! and you don't even have spacers on your list yet (you really should)

springs + install
spacers
alignment
camber kit + install
alignment

over $2k over here... yikes!

 

wouldn't it just be worth it to go to full aftermarket coilovers at this point?

 

This thread isnt encouraging me

I haven't even decided where to take my car to for an alignment yet.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love the way the end result looks.

In my opinion this is how the car should have come from the factory.

I just should have done more research beforehand.

 

Think you will be better off since you are RWD.

 

Does using coilovers mean you don't need camber adjustment?

I definitely love the way the car looks 1" lower than stock, but yeah... might have affected my decision if I'd known it wasn't going to stop at $350 for springs

 

These springs cost too much money for what they are. I feel they should be priced around 200-250 but I bought into the hype and now I have opposite rake. Yay.

 

Most coilovers have a pretty deep "minimum" drop in the back so it's tough to just drop it mild enough to forgo camber kits.

 

usually you'd just get camber plates with a coilover kit, a quality monotube coilover kit should only be about $2k and install is actually easier than just springs alone

 

I dunno that the rake bothers me. Yeah, level would have been ideal, but the front end sat higher than the rear stock anyway

It's the whole most cars won't need camber kit claim, and seeing alignment specs that don't support that claim that bothers me.

I don't know that any of the available springs would solve these issues though.

 

Toe is a much greater influence on tire wear as opposed to camber.
I ran -1.5* camber and 0 toe all around on my Subaru and I did just fine when I used to autocross heavily.

 

that's good camber and what I would want to see on my car

one more vote for ZERO TOE

 

I just recently swapped over my OEM Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires onto new wheels and there was no issues with uneven wear across any of the tires.
I have about -2 degrees camber with "0" toe.



This is with Swifts & 20mm spacers running over 1.5 years.
