so after 6 months I would need new tires? My tires are directional and don't want to mount and dismount.

Nope, that was my case based on my driving conditions, and tires used. it depends on those factors along with having your TOE for alignment close to 0 as possible. Tire wear is NOT an exact science.

It's the price of the lowered life on the vert, with no rear camber kit available. You will either swap tires on each side as needed or buy new tires if camber wear makes it unsafe to drive depending on driving habits. That will be up to you

This is my plan,
1. Wait for coilovers, get a camber kit for the front.
2. adjust height to be near camber spec all around.
3. run wider tires for the rear.

so I can't expect to get 20k miles on my tires then. If not, what do you think I would get out of it. I do mostly city driving.

Just wondering if it is worth it to do all this stuff. I think I am going to try the stock coupe springs on the front and rear, as I think the Eibachs will be too much and so will the Swift springs. Coilovers are too much. I would rather sink money into FI if I am going to spend all that.

Thanks for all of your help though.

I checked the BC coilover thread and don't see where the OP used stock coupe springs. Has some other vert owner done this? If not, gonna go with Swift Springs. Heard those are better than Eibachs. Better ride and not as harsh.

Hi guys, I just wanted to check for any updates about the springs and cambers for vert??
I was planning to go with H&R springs for vert but then I can't find cambers.

No Camber kit available still. There is no demand or not enough so no one has made any.

I lowered my 350Z on BC Racing coilovers - looked good, and loved the ability to change the stiffnes of the suspension (Soft with gf in the car, stiffer for track or spirited driving)

BUT ! ! and it's a BIG BUT - too many issues on poor roads or slow-down humps in car parks. I bottomed out several times. . . .so definitely NOT going to lower the Infiniti
