I believe camber kits are not necessary with the eibachs. They aren't that aggressive of a drop, so you can use the factory camber/caster toe in/out adjustments and that will be fine.

You still need to get an alignment after the springs settle though.

If you like the feel and look of a little negative camber, then get the springs and let them settle for week or two and then get an alignment. From there you have fact-based numbers and actual appearance to look at to see if you need or want the front, rear or both camber kits. If you later elect to get the front camber kit, either get the G35 front camber kit (a-arms) or wait until SPC finalizes what they are going to do about the front a-arms for the G37.

LOL!! You cracking on my Eibachs again Solisimo!

H&Rs are nice but on stockies. If you get 20s with big offsets = Eibach is your friend.

Thanks guys!
It will wear a little uneven in rear without Camber Kit but not much...but I think the Gs do wear a little uneven in the back with stock drop so Im still deciding if I should get a camber kit.

I was told I only needed front camber kit by installer and dealer (when they aligned it). Camber is visibly noticeable for my fronts and rears...

I was same way on Eibach. Since there is no camber adjustment on front with OEM, it is what it is when you drop it.

I wanted not only to be in spec, but I wanted more toward nominal setting for looks I prefet so went with both front and rear kits. Right now, I would go with G35 a-arm for Eibach drop and you will be fine. If you are ever going to go lower than Eibach, then would wait on front until any design changes are final.

^^ that is probably going to be the route I go as I feel the same way as you. I already have the spc rears and will more than likely order the g35 a-arm for front.

Is there any negative that you would imagine could occur in the long for using a part such as this designed the a g35 on a g37?

thanks

Mechanically, not that I can see. The camber/caster adjustment mechanism is identical (same stamped lot numbers, etc) between the G37 arm and the G35 arm. The only difference is the G35 arm is shorter than the G37 arm, and the attachment of the arm to the chassis is the same with the same bushings, etc.

The only concern I can think of is if SPC offers an improved G37 arm design for those with the current G37 arm, then I doubt they would swap with someone that bought a G35 arm.

Ok, thanks. That's good to hear. I will give it a bit more time to see what SPC plans on doing before doing anything. Hopefully it's soon thought because my fronts are pretty bad.

Front tires where ok for me, but they where worn half way down when I just replaced my rims and got new tires as well. So the backs I noticed it was worn uneven, but the front looked fine. Im not 100% sure if you'll need it for front since I havnt kept the front tires long enough to notice any difereance.

I think somone who has had Eibachs longer and gone through the full set including fronts can chime in better.
