My G50 is lowered with Eibach springs and tokico struts. The last time I did and alignment the guy said that there was no more adjust to my toe-in problem. I need to get this car aligned properly so I don't have to keep changing tires too often. The inside of my front tire are bald..
What do I need?
Adjustable upper control arms?
Adjustable TENSION ARM RODS?
I'm running 225-45-18 front, 245-15-18 rear

Want to also go back to 245-45-18 in the front but will need spacers because of the rubbing. I have 2002 M45 rims. What size spacers would I need?

All advice is appreciated !!

You really need adjustable front upper control arms, usually the rear is worse...

The reason you cannot get your toe back where it should be is because the camber is so far off... You can put shims behind the front control arms to help.. if you can get front camber back into the -1.0 range you'll be in good shape.

Rears you won't have enough adjustment so you'll need to get SPL rear control arms.

Thanks for the info...
The rear has not been a problem.. It's ony the front...
So, I going to order a pair of front adjustable upper control arms.

Would I need the adjustable tension arm rod?

Any ideas on how to go about getting 245-45-18 in the front again or will the front adjustable upper control arms solve my problem?

Thanks Elwesso !!

254-45-18 fit fine on the front, of course with the proper offset, and on the 03 M45 wheels (there was no 2002 M45), those I believe are 18x7.5 +35mm, so that should be golden on a G50..

Good luck getting the front upper control arms, the simple fix will be to put the washers or spacer behind the upper control arm brackets. It would also be helpful if we had the current readings to determine how far we're off. You may need to replace parts anyway, as if parts were worn out you'd have the same problem even if you weren't lowered.

My car is on coilovers, with stock FUCAs and I was able to get my toe to 0*. You don't need adjustable FUCAs, but you can buy them from any company who makes them for a 90-96 300zx just the same as the rear adjustable arms.

here is my car( just to show my ride height, and I have not adjusted my front camber at all. Just the TOE with the stock tie rods.

I basically have that same setup on my 95 but I think my springs are Cali Customs. My alignment is fine, but I've noticed some wearing more to the outside and a really bad judder/steering wheel shake at 70+ MPH. I hope the answer to your problem can help me as well.
