My alignment #'s, H-Techs and D-Specs

Recently dropped my car with 350z H-Techs and D-Specs. Car also rides on Volk GT-S's, 19x9.5f 19x10.5r, +17/18 offsets.

Springs and shocks were installed a few weeks ago and I let the car settle until I got an alignment. Overall drop was pretty conservative, but just the right amount

Here are the specs:

Camber Front Left: -1.4
Camber Front Right: -1.7
Toe Front Left: 0.15 Corrected to 0.05
Toe Front Right: -0.30 Corrected to 0.05

Camber Rear Left: -3.6 Corrected to -2.7
Camber Rear Right: -3.5 Corrected to -2.6
Toe Rear Left: 0.20 Corrected to 0.15
Toe Rear Right: 0.20 Corrected to 0.20

I was under the impression that most people on the forums with this conservative spring/shock combo were able to get their camber back into spec???

I have pretty much the same set-up as you do. After an alignment, I ended up with the following:

Front left camber, caster, toe . . . -1.3, 8.2, 0.03
Front right camber . . . -1.9, 8.3, 0.03

Rear left camber, toe . . . -1.3, 0.10
Rear right, camber, toe . . . -1.3, 0.09

The rear settings were corrected with the SPC camber/toe bolt combo.

you need to get your toe fixed in the rear.
they both need to be equal our your car will want to pull to one side.
take it back and tell them to fix it, and if they say they cant its a bull**** excuse to not to work on it. tell them you want your money back and go somewhere else.

Whoops, that's a misprint. The toe in the rear is 0.15 for both sides. I'll have to purchase a camber kit for the front and rear to get those back into spec.

if the toe is even on both sides and you have no thrust angle,
you're pretty much sitting pretty close to my current setting..
except my front camber is even at -1.8.

I'm running Swift springs with a drop of front: 1" rear: .6" with oem shocks.

My alignment specs:

Front Left: Camber/-1.6 Caster/8.3 Toe/.04
Front Right: Camber/-2.1 Caster/8.2 Toe/.04

Rear Left: Camber/-1.9 Toe/.11
Rear Right Camber/-1.9 Toe/.10

I definitely want to get the front camber kit because I don't like the look of the neg camber and I like the wheels not to be so tucked. My question is would you get a rear kit, would I get uneven tire wear if I'm not an aggressive driver? If I do buy the SPC rear camber kit would I need to purchase the toe bolts since I'm in spec on toe?
