Would you happen to have a pic or part # that shows the difference? I'm planning to finally install mine and would like to check which version i have before doing so.

Thank you.

^ Definitely need one, your camber can probably still be tweaked a little, but that toe is seriously out and will chew through your tires fairly fast.

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
Not bad for the front. But definitely rear kit.

So you are running flush with -1.9 in the front and -3.2 and -2.7 in the rear. Even for those that run hella-flush, I think they are still in spec....so that tells me that your offset might be too aggressive and that getting your alignment back into spec would put you at "mexi-flush" status (where the wheel and tire extend beyond the wheel well).

Do you want to replace your tires every 10K miles due to inner tire camber wear? Do your wheels specs or drop mandate that you run lots of negative camber? A camber kit is $500 now with a DIY. Maybe $700 for parts and labor. A set of tires range from $800-$1500, which would have to be replaced between 7500-15000 miles plus cost of mounting/dismounting/tire disposal etc. I think you can do the math.

the front i have room to play with, no concern there. the rear however yes im running FLUSH! tire inside the wheel well with 1cm of clearance and that being generous, more like half that. Yes my drop at this time does necessitate the negative camber. offset in the rear is +22. and yes to be in spec im looking at definitely being "mexi-flush." (ive done the math, just installed the rear tires $426 shipped to my door + install/allignment = $575.)Im not concerned about what camber kits would costs, my question is can i even get to within spec without having to say, roll my fenders? you get me?thanks for the insight so far, not my forte here.

You should not worry. Unlike front camber kit. For the rear camber is adjusted from below. So instead of pushing top part of wheel out. Alignment will be achieved by pulling in the lower part of the wheel inward. So go ahead and buy the camber kits. Have them installed and re-aligned. As Swiss Cheese says "you will save a bunch on tire".

Don't worry for coupe +22 10.5" is well within range to get it back to factory specs.

By the way i have brand new never installed rear camber kit with toe bolts. Desided not to install them after purchasing them. Because when I take my G37 to racing track -3.1 camber is still not enough camber. And I actually rub the outer part of the wheels more than inner part. Also on street tires I am running 400 UTQG tires. So I decided since I have no issues with tire rubbing. Why bother install them and pay for labor. If you are interested let me know. I paid $156 shipped. I will give you a gift for $100 shipped.
