I'm getting some eibach springs installed. And my tech told me the eibach camber bolt kit is the same dimension as stock and it wouldn't make difference by installing them. Can someone shed some light on this? Did I waste $70 on this kit? Thanks guys.

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

 

That's OK, your tech is misinformed, the bolt is the same size bolt but is offset in the concentric washer much more than the OEM bolt. The slot that the camber bolt slides in needs to be elongated so the new wider-range bolt can slide the full range. The kit should come w/ a template that you use against your existing slot and a dremel tool is your best bet for cutting out the slot. You should also have a toe bolt for eeach side, and this also requires elongating the OEM toe slot.
I'll move this to the proper folder & welcome to the site.

 

Thanks. My tech just realized that, he's going to switch it out first thing tomorrow and realign it. I was expecting the eibachs to have a bit more drop in the front. But all is good. The rear is a perfect drop. Now I just need some wheel recommendations. Lol

 

NP, as far as wheels~coupe or sedan, style & budget, and if you want square or staggered, would be a start.

 

I got a 2011 g37 coupe IPL. I would like to go staggered with the wheels sitting at least somewhat flushed with the fender. I've got a budget of about $2500 for just wheels. Thanks. I appreciate all your responses.

 

Got a poker game calling my name but I'll get back to you tomorrow w/ some ideas.

 

Thank you, much appreciated. Hope you win lol

 

Broke even, but was down a few hundred so I guess that's kinda like a win, lol.

As far as wheels on a $2500 budget. I'd consider a few of these options~
The Flow Formed SSRs are a nice wheel and are available in good offsets for your coupe
TreadDepot.com: SSR Wheels
I'd go w/ 19x8.5 5:1143 ET25 on 245/40/19 Front
19x9.5 5:1143 ET35 on a 275/35/19 Rear

These Wedsports are nice, and fit is a bit more conservative (less flush)
19x9 +35 and 19x10 +42 same size front tire but a 285/35/19 rear
Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: SA-67R
Center caps are extra
Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Wedssport

These Work Kiwami wheels are another solid choice
Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Work CR Kiwami
Sizes would be 19x8.5 5x114.3 +25offset front
19x9.5 +38 rear running the 245/275 tire sizes

There's so many styles to choose so an idea of what you're after would be a big plus

 

Here's those Work Kiwamis on an WRX


And the Wedsports



SSRs

 

I love that bronze kiwami and the ssr's on the Z. I want to stick to 19's. maybe 19x10-10.5 in rear and 19x9-9.5 fronts. I want to stay away from spacers if possible, I don't know how safe or unsafe those are. Never used them before.

Also I came from a 06 Suby Sti. Pro tuned with lots and lots of tasteful mods. It was putting down around 330whp and about 390lbs of torque.

 

Always best to avoid spacers if possible, just another part added to the mix.
They have the Kiwamis in a super deep concave 19x10.5 +32 which will fit w/a 275/35/19 tire.
Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Work CR Kiwami Ultra Deep Concave
Combined w/ a 19x9.5 +38 Deep concave on 245/40/19 in front and that will be a nice aggressive look.
Those Kiwamis are my favorite wheel at that price range right now, wish I would have known about them when I was wheel shopping

 

I might just go with this. Only this is well there be rubbing issues. Also I don't want to stretch the tires. i just checked their website, they don't have the 19x9.5s.

 

Yeah, that first setup I listed w/ the 8.5/9.5" rims would be the safest approach, the 9.5/10.5 will be very close in back, but a 275 on a 10.5" is still considered a standard mount. FWIW here's a 8.5 +35 on 245s (20") and 10" +35 running wide 295s so the 10.5 +32 would stick out 8mm w/ the rim but the tires would be narrower for essentially the same clearance inside the fender edge
