Default Help With H-Techs.

Hello guys new to this forum, but i have a 2010 xb2 and just got some new shoes for it 18x8.5.
My question now is i am looking to drop the box a bit and i have decided on the Tein H-techs because i have these on my G35 and love them, but i was hoping to get help on camber and alignment ?? any one have any issues? thanks guys for all your help.

No issues as long as you get the camber back within the 1.8 specs.. h-techs dont give you much of a drop so I doubt camber will be affected in your case. none the less, get it aligned and its safe to say every 6-8 months have it checked if you are concerned about tire wear.. Im on tanabe DF's and I have no irregular tire wear YMMV

The xB has a swingaxle in the rear. The factory has already incorperated a little bit of negative camber in it (roughly -1degree or so). So when you lower it, the camber turns to toe. There is no real way to fix this, but you could use SPC shims. I don't know of many people that have done this. To my knowledge, a good friend of mine has.
