any general rule of thumb as to what the degree of negative camber should be?? last alignment i was at -1.3 and -1.2 front, without the camber kit!
Anything between the recommended settings will be OK. The factory service manual is in one at the stickies (can't remember exactly where) that has all of this info.

Lots of places have a general photo of a part and not the actual part you are buying. Trust me, that isn't an Eibach or SPC part for the G37.
This is what the rear SPC/Eibach arm and toe bolt looks like:
This is what the front camber arms look like:
I bought the Eibach rear arms because they were a few bucks cheaper. They have SPC stamped right on the side and Eibach nowhere on the part except the box. This has been discussed before:

actually it is not the rivised one you want. SPC did release a different version for G37. However soon found out one they had been selling for G35 is also better for G37. So even if someone wanted to purchase newer version created for G37. SPC abandoned the newer version for G37. And ones sold were voluntarily recalled.
Lookin for general commentary here.
Im on OEM front ant back
Front camber -1.9
Rear Left -3.2
Rear Right -2.7
Just got new rear tires and alignment done two days ago.
How bad do I need a camber kit? Do I need both front and back? Thanks

Here are the specs from Jsolo on another thread. I would at least get a rear camber kit.
.3deg of 1.5 total degrees is 20% (.3/1.5). I'd say that's a considerable amount to be out of spec. Negative camber is inward tilt of the wheels, so the inside edge of the tires will wear faster.
There's specs, nominal specs, and actual specs. Yours seem to vary quite a bit from the nominal.
