Hi guys

My 05 g35 car is lowered an inch. I plan to get the SPC Front and Rear Camber Kit (2 Rear Arms and 2 Toe Bolt)

Alignment spec.
Rear Left Camber: -2.8 [Specified Range -1.9 to -0.9]
Rear Right Camber: -2.5 [Specified Range -1.9 to -0.9]

Rear Left Toe: .11 [Specified Range .00 to .22]
Rear Right Toe: .13 [Specified Range .00 to .22]

I called a pref auto shop. He suggested that I should also get a rear toe arm. He said fixing the camber will mess up the toe and the toe bolt will not be enough. He might need to drummel to get more adjustment for the toe.

My questions:
Does the g35 have oem adjustable toe? If so, is that enough?
Is his recommendation accurate based on the alignment spec?
Would the toe arm be required from past experience?

Thanks in advance.

 

1. Yes, rear toe is adjustable, but not as adjustable as it will be if you elongate the hole. Some people don't install the bolts & elongate the hole, but I would do it if I were in your shoes.
2. Yes, adjusting camber settings will change toe, but you won't know the full extent until he starts adjusting things. If you elongate the toe bolt holes, however, you should definitely be able to get back in spec.
3. Just elongate the slot and use the toe bolts supplied with the SPC rear kit. The SPC kit should include a template that will tell you how much to elongate the slot.

FYI, if you're having a shop install the camber/toe kit, make sure they know to elongate the slots for the toe bolts. Some shops don't know this is required for full toe adjustability and may not include it in their quote.

 

Thanks for the reply. Can anyone recommend any good shop in southern california (oc, pomona area) that can do the installation (front and rear)?
