I had my new Tokico HP struts/shocks & G/Z springs install today. Here are the specs from the alignment.. will I be able to get by without a camber kit? The mechanic said this was the best he could do without a camber kit.

 

Just installed revised 350Z springs and D-Specs on my 6mt Sedan. Your rear camber seems somewhat aggressive compared to stock specs, and I'm surprised how much more neg camber it has compared to mine. I don't think it is worth it for you to get a camber kit though.

Here are my alignment specs:

 

Thanks brandon1978 from the look of your specs maybe I need to go to your mechanic..do you think rotating the tires every few thousand miles will help with tire ware?

 

Looks good to me...
Without a camber kit it's really hard for even the best alignment guy to fix your camber.
The most important thing to correct is Toe anyway.

 

Because we have similar drops it surprises me that you have twice the negative camber in the rear. The front camber is not adjustable, but you should be able to look at the front lower link adjust bolt (on the rear suspension) to see if it is set at its max setting. It is possible that your alignment guy didn't even bother with the camber. Another possibility is that my springs haven't settled yet. I only had them on for about 5 days before the alignment, but the drop caused every corner to be toe out, and it handled like crap before the alignment.

-1.5 isn't that bad on tire wear, and is actually good for handling. Rotating tires is a good idea. Since neg camber will wear the inside of the tire sooner, you can even have the tires removed from the wheel and rotated side to side. You only need to do the side-to-side if you can see uneven tire wear.

I paid $110 for my alignment, but I took it to a well respected speed shop that focuses on autocross and race cars. They took the time to do it right.

With the cost of performance tires, I figure an alignment pays for itself.
