Hi, I just bought a new/used G35 that was lowered. The car has 20" Rims and the front wheels lean in toward the engine. Does anyone know how I can fix the camber so the Tire is level and doesn't lean? I dont want the inside of my tires to wear out faster than the outside? Thanks :D

If tire life is a primary concern, then return the G to as built springs [ride height] and tire sizes.

Lowering is primarily a fashion statement! Lowering does little [less than 2%] in improving handling.

Big heavy wheels and tires actually hurt performance [acceleration and braking] and significantly add to operating costs.

A good camber adjustable upper control arm will do the trick.

IT was a Tein Spring Kit. The only reason I know that is because when I had the tires rotated, I saw the green springs that said "Tein" on them. Thanks,

Thanks for the Information, I actually just traded a guy I work with straight across for his stock 18's and the ride is much better now. I can now get the camber kit and fix that and I should be good to go. Thanks for your comments.
