becareful guys. I bought camber arms and upper control arms for my G35 back in the day only to find out that they were really designed more to add more camber for flush fitment or track use.

I think that's what we're going for here - full camber adjustability with the confidence that I can track this product without any failure.

If I was still in Denver ,this would of been a wrap by now..starting.to lose hope on a solution.. meanwhile, my custom alignment is making my inner fronts very happy with minimal excessive wear so far

Im telling people to just check the range of adjustment before buying the Japanese kits. I thought it would have been pretty obvious that I was talking about the VIP wheel fitment. Guess not

Thecoil overs will do the same thing as long as the car is low enough. Problem is the gap in the front that requires more than an inch to close. If people got coils they could also just do a more conservative drop for a better ride and tire wear. Initially it doesnt seem like a big deal, but the repeated visits can get tiresome especially when they never get the balance done perfectly the first time ( at least not for me and not on these glass smooth AZ roads)

i hear you on the balancing it is hit or miss on the balancing. i think since tanabes sag and get lower than whats advertise , once settled is the issue. but with coils you can raise up a few but in most cases once your low you wanna get lower not raise up.

I am going to have to search for that, because I am pretty smooth but some times I feel something but then again it could be the pavement, 30 series are unforgivable, as well as I might just need to check the torque on the 2 piece wheels...

High speed on the car is done right after road force..typically.. metro wheels here in ATL does it for $60..other specialty shops charge $150 for HSOTC

CJITTY you are lucky. I have called all of the wheel shops in AZ , even the Ferrari dealership, and nobody out here does on the car wheel balancing. You are lucky my man. Even with the new wheels I am still shaking between 70-80. Its annoying as hell. After dealing with this for a year and half I have even thought about shipping my car to ATL for balancing.
