^ Spacers causing vibration maybe? What brand are the spacers? Damaged/bent wheel?

I don't know the spacer brand. I want to say H&R, but I can't say for sure because the guy hasn't responded to my PM. Yea, I think the vibration is the spacer which shouldn't be needed in the first place and I'm going crazy...

BTW, tomorrow is free pancake day at IHOP (off-topic)

I still don't understand why you need 15mm spacers up front to just barely clear the Akebono's... You may want to measure and make sure they are 9.5" wheels. (+35 offset right?)

Yeah, I found on the Ichiba spacers the hubcentric ring does not always stick out far enough to make good contact with the hub. I added copper wire spacers per a DYI on G35driver to resolve the issue on a friend's car . Spacers don't usually cause vibration; incorrectly installed spacers can though (although I am not a huge fan of spacers for other reasons).

What's wrong with spacers? besides vibration

I don't know that the spring type really matters a lot. Get what you want. You are dealing with the same issues no matter what. You have two issues you need to overcome-- the wheels sticking out and the rubbing. Either spring should tuck the wheel enough to clear the fender. The S-tech will just be lower and more tucked than the Eibach; with more camber and tire wear.

In general, I think the rear camber kit is cheap and easy. It will allow you to run enough camber to get by the problems you are having now, and it will allow you to get your camber/toe as close to factory spec once you get everything sorted out (and save on tire wear). In the long run it will easily save you the cost of the kit a few times over in tire savings.

I am not saying just drop your car and add mad camber to fix the problem as I think some people are saying. I am saying drop your car with whatever you want, and see how it works out. I don't think anything serious is wrong with your car, and the wheels are only mildly aggressive. A drop and a little negative camber will help resolve most of your issues. Just be prepared to do some minor trimming, and if you have the rear camber kit, make some camber adjustments (this may go either way once you get everything sorted out, and you may be able to add positive camber for all you know). Just take it to a shop that knows what they are doing, and I am sure they can sort it out. The install, adjustments, and trimming are all super super easy (although I managed to Dremel my arm when I was trimming my rear fender liners).

Nothing major. Just extra weight, more parts, more things to go wrong, etc. Overall, I don't think it is a problem if you want/need to run them.

FRONT

20mm wider toward fender. And 5 mm deeper. So as long as you take the spacers out on your front wheels. Should work just fine.

Now the front suspension will get positive camber when you apply weight. So definitely you will need SPC camber kits. So they don't rub under severe turns.

REAR

11mm deeper and 27mm wider toward your fender. 27mm is your wheels stretched toward fender. With your wider tires 285/30/20 of coarse they will rub your fenders. 27mm is aggressive, but your tires are too wide.

Just change your tires to 275 width. Will solve all issues. Sell your 285's used before completely destroying.

Our rear suspension goes negative camber under severe turn. So no Camber needed.

You are welcome

Your 285 rear tires are now like \ with 275 on 10.5 wheels tire will set like / . So tucked inside your fender. So it is not just 10mm difference when you change from 285 to 275. On the top edge of the tires which rub your fenders, it will be +- 20mm less wide.

Also I don't understand why you have front spacers. You claim they were rubbing your bbk's. However with the offset and all the specs. You get about +1mm on back space. Please recheck all your measurements and specs.

excuse me? Its not all up to your offsets, most of it has to do with your DISK TYPE to clear your BBK's.
