Gotcha , yea I've done the arms on other cars that I've owned. That's the best way to go but as you said it ain't cheap.

It's best to install them at the same time your installing the coilovers. The coilovers springs don't have the same gap as the oem springs, meaning the bolts that hold the camber arm will not come out while the coilover is installed on the car. :frown:

Same problem with the camber bolts, ask me how I know

I am in need of help/suggestions for fitting 20's on my infiniti M35. I have read many forums and have received some great information but nothing that convinces me on the best wheel size for my model car.
The plan is to lower the car with coilovers on Vossen CV3's. I definitely would like the flushed look (not looking to tuck as that would involve rolling fenders). I also am trying to avoid rubbing of any sort as this is a daily driver. On the other hand I do want a staggered look.
I have been given two suggestions - Either go with 20x9 front and 20x10.5 (which I was later told would stick out at the back too much) or go with 20x9's all around. I don't know how the 20x9's would look all around with these wheels as I feel I would lose the "staggered" look.

Any ideas?????? :confused:

P.S.Pics would also be great with suggestions

But now I have the D2 Racing coilovers and would like sometime this spring to install the front camber arms being that the car is so low.

I see what your saying.

I need some help with my Ksports kontrol pro coilovers that I just installed last week. This isnt the first time I have installed coilovers on a vehicle and im bouncing in my seat every time I hit a bump. :gotme Ive been messing with the settings...going from full hard in back and front to halfway back and front and now half way back and full soft in front. The last setting is somewhat better but I would think the harder the setting the less play the spring would have.

The pain is that everytime I need to change the rear setting, I have to go to the shop for them to jack up the car and pull down the entire strut/coilover unit just for me to adjust it as there is no other way to get to the top. How are your D2's? Did you have similar issues initially? what settings are you running :confused:

295/30/20 would be possible if he has the 20x10.5 rears on his car like mine.

I got a pretty good hook up on my wheels and tires. I only went 285/25/20 cause i thought i would have issues with the 20x10.5 rear wheels. But next time i will be getting 295/30/20

it may rub but camber is your friend but in the long run your tires will wear faster.

Anyone have issues with K-sport coilovers as far as the rear being too bouncy? Even after I adjusted it, it still is way too bouncy based on my past experience with lowering cars.

I have looked at other coilover applications and some come with the strut and coil in one (like the ksport) where others come with the strut and a seperate coil to replace the one there as seen in this photo
http://www.importtuner.com/tech/impp_12 ... to_06.html
Right now it seems to me that I have 4 sets of coils on the rear....the one that came on the ksport unit and the stock one to the right and left of the rear wheels.

Any suggestions????

Best to go with true coilovers

D2's are different as they have 36way adjustments

Not sure if you read my entire post. I currently have K-sport coilovers on the car which are true coilovers. Just trying to determine if the other springs I see on the car need to be replaced also. The other spring I am talking about is shown in the link below. Looks like these guys replaced the coils and the strut. I do understand that with K-sport or D2 the strut and coils are in one but again there is another coil that comes on the M
