alignment specs - sedan, coupe or 350z???

I have an 04 sedan (non-sport) and i'm installing full revised 350z suspension. My question is when i go and get it aligned, which specs am I going for, sedan or 350z? I know the suspension drops it ~1" so I am going to try to get away with not using camber kit, unless its too bad. Thanks in advance.

more negative camber means extra grip at the limit. That is why 350z alignment specs are more agressive. So it is all up to u what u want. Ur toe and caster should be within specs. I personally would not go anything higher (meaning less agressive) than -1.0 rear camber.

cool, I kinda figured it was all personal preference. While on the topic, are rear camber kits and rear adjustable toe arms the same thing? Can you use both pieces at the same time? Does one kit do both? A little confused about this.

FWIW...
You should only post your question in one place.
Then link it in other posts if you feel the need.

there are camber arms and there are toe arms (most people just get the toe BOLT kits). you'll likely need the camber arms and at least a toe bolt kit to get your rear within reasonable specs. I believe SPC kits their camber arms and toe bolts together...hit up gruppe-s or THMotorsports who are both vendors on the site.

I have similar set up on my 03 sedan. I have the SPC rear camber arms. Very easy to install and cheap money too. Here is a DIY walkthrough

You needed camber arms w/ Z springs? What was your before/after camber settings on your sedan and Z springs?

I had mine alligned at the dealer mainly because I was getting free compression rods and radiator. The tech told me it was in factory specs. I didnt ask for a print out.
