My 06 G35 Coupe is completely stock with the 19" wheels. I just got an alignment done today and I've noticed that my rear wheels are bowing inward a little at the top. If I'm not mistaken, that is the negative camber? Are these acceptable specs or should I bring my car elsewhere to get aligned? Am I going to experience premature tire wear?

you're not too far out of spec, but i'd have them take another shot if they are interested in keeping your business. pay particular attention to toe - try to get it dialed in as close to zero as possible.

Are there any alignment shops that can get our cars into stock spec without having to get an aftermarket alignment kit? Especially the rear camber, because now it seems to bow inward a little.

our cars have negative camber stock so i wouldn't worry about it too much. like i said, you're out of spec in the rear, but not so far that a good tech shouldn't be able to get you back into alignment with the stock camber arms & toe adjustment bolts.

if the shop you went to can't do any better, hit up johnson's alignment down in torrance. tell them what you've got, your specs, and ask if they can help you out.

What is your rear camber set at and do you have a rear camber kit on your car?

I have -1.7 for all of the wheels except one which is at -1.8 (I forgot which wheel). And no I don't have a camber kit currently. I'm going to see how long my tires last me and decide whether to get the camber kit or not.

So here's the update.....I brought my car to Precision Z Service in Canoga Park, CA. They are using one of the newer Hunter Alignment Machines. They were able to get my car in spec and didn't understand either how the other shop messed up my alignment so much.

I was very pleased with Precision Z Service. I highly recommend them. They explained everything to me in detail and spent time with me answering all of my questions. There website is http://www.precisionz.com/home
