Help, alignment specs need advice

Left Front:

Camber: -1.7
Caster: 9.0
toe: -0.02

Right Front:


Camber: -1.7
Caster: 8.8
Toe: -0.04


Rear Left:

Camber: -1.0
Toe: -0.78

Rear Right:

Camber: -1.1
Toe: -0.14

THe dood said the rear camber was ok, as was the rear toe. But the front was in need of camber adjustment, the toe was ok, close to out of spec, but ok.

I am dropped on G35 Tein S-Techs, its an 04 coupe with the sports suspension and the stock 18's with the 7 spokes. I bought a rear camber kit thinking I would need em, but I dont....so what are you's guys recommendation?


Thanks in advance

Wow, I wouldn't expect the toe to be off that much in the rear. Look into getting toe bolts so you can get more adjustment, but I would have let them add more negative camber and get the toe in spec as that is what will eat your tire quicker. Front you seem to be ok, you will have some inner tire wear.

If you have camber arms and you plan on going lower in the future, I'd keep them, but for now, they are not needed.

thanks for the quick reply where can I get a toe kit? I have the kinetix rear camber kit, and doubt I will be dropping any further, can the toe be adjusted without the toe kit?

Yes it can. It's just a couple bolts and gives you some more adjustment on the toe. Eibach sells them. You can get them from a variety of vendors. I got mine through Henry@Statik since he was local. It's about $40-$50 (not to be confused with toe arms, those are completely different and you need to use true coilovers with those since it replaces the spring bucket).

I'm guessing part of it is quality for one, and they also have some sort of washers on them...I think one of them is part of the bolt itself (welded on)...I can't remember.

hmmmm.......call me crazy, but 40-50 bucks for a dog gone bolt is just crazy......the toe in bolt isn't load bearing is it? Even still, they have bolts that hold like 10-15 thousand pounds!! I would have to assume those would work....surely some other cheakskate has tried it...........
