2009 G37 Sedan (non-sport) Dropped on Eibachs - Spacers and Camber question

Hello all,

I tried searching before but could only find answers for coupes and 19" rims.

I just dropped my sedan with the eibach pro kit and loving it so far! The ride quality hardly changed and gives it a much sleeker appearance. I am looking for spacers but having a hard time deciding which spacers size go well with the 18" 7 spoke wheels. I think they are staggered. Has anyone had experience specifically with these wheels dropped on eibachs? After deciding on a size, do I need any heat protection lube so they wont melt into the brakes (I saw in a DIY but not sure). What brands do you recommend or should I just stick with eibach?

Secondly, I took it to Firestone to get the lifetime alignments but they said they could not get the rear in spec and i'd need a camber kit. It has no more room to move or something. Also the front camber has no factory specs and so I dont think they did much. Are camber kits easy to install and would I need one for the front and the rear or just the rear? Thanks! Here are some pictures

Rear camber is much easier but toe bolt will require grinding the bolt hole. Your camber isn't that bad and more importantly your toe is green which is good. I've ran Eibach without camber kit for a lil bit and my tires were fine.

Thanks for the reply, can anyone else confirm that my camber isnt that bad? How often would you guys recommend rotating out the tires if I decide to opt out of a camber kit? They are brand new and dont want to completely mess them up. Not sure if I want to go through the trouble of camber kits if not necessary.

Also I was thinking of 20mm all around for spacers? Anyone think that would be ok or too much on my set up?

Edit: I dont race or track or anything, this is just my DD but I do like to enjoy it on back roads!

Thanks!

Camber's not crazy but I'd shoot for rear camber in the -1.2 or less range and just get by w/ the front (since the front kit is $350 or more) If you have a dremel tool and don't mind grinding/elongating the slots for the toe bolt and factory camber arm you can get by w/ the rear bolt kit rather than the bolt camber arm that's more common. This kit has 2 bolts so you need 2 kits for your rear wheels. There's some DIY links for elongating the slot
if you can't find it shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do.
Here's the kit, total will only be about $65 but you'll need to do the work.
SPC Performance Camber/Toe Cam Bolt Kit; Pair, Reqr's 1 per Wheel INFINITI G35
