Hello everyone. I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I'm more of a lurker, this is the first post I've made I've just lowered my 2003 G35 Coupe on 350z Tein S-techs. In addition, I've installed the Eibach alignment kit (same as the SPC kit).

Front (all in degrees)
Caster L:8.7 R:8.4
Camber L:-1.2 R:-1.1
Toe L:0.05 R:0.05

Rear (all in degrees)
Camber L:-1.6 R:-1.5
Toe L:0.1 R:0.1

Total Toe F:0.1 R:0.2
Camber Diff F:-0.1 R:-0.1
Caster Diff F:0.3

Can anyone tell me if my specs are going to give me tire wear issues? And how do the specs look in terms of providing me great handling? Thank you in advance!

Also, if anyone wants pics of a DG G35 coupe lowered with 350z Tein S-techs on stock 18"s as well as 19" Volk GT-7s, please let me know!

 

Remember static sitting still alignment numbers are a form of predistortion [misalignment] to attempt to set the tires correctly going straight at 55 mph.

Engineers actually measure alignments at speed and develop sitting still numbers to try to correct what the forward thrust does in compressing bushings.

Tires are designed to function [wear] best with ~~ 0.0 to negative 0.5 degrees of camber. Unfortunately it is impossible to design a suspension that will perfectly correct camber as the body rolls so racers add extra negative camber to correct for the going positive as the body rolls to attempt to maintain a maximal shaped contact patch.

Study the camber gain curve of suspensions

 

^Nice write up and nice explanation.

 

My car is a daily driver and I feel that my car's handling has improved from stock...however, I'm still wondering if my alignment specs will cause my tires to wear down a lot faster than stock? I think everything is in spec...

 

welcome, im also from vancouver too. hit up www.niclub.ca for events and such. I also just installed my coilsover, however i haven't bought any camber kit as im waiting for my coils to break in. Did you align your car right after the install?

 

Hello! I aligned at OK Tire by a guy named Samson. I did the alignment about 2 weeks after I installed my springs at SR Auto. Are your coilovers camber adjustable at all?

My front camber was at ~-2.0 and rear camber was at ~-3.0 prior to the camber kit and alignment kit...I'm glad I've got everything figured out now

 

how about comments as to what you guys would change and why?

 

Your alignment is good, your tires should have no issues with wear.
