Alignent barely in spec

So i got an alignment recently and my shop is telling me they could only get my alignment on the border line of stock specs. they advised that i would eventually need camber kits if I wanted to get them in the middle of the range.

Is anyone else having the same problem? I have a 05 coupe with stock sports suspension and 19" rays.

thanks i'll try to scan my alignment sheet when I can.

Had same issue.
Even stock you might still have light toe/camber.

I'm now lowered on oem 350z springs and I'll still need it even more.

So it's basically a good idea to rock a camber kit fully stock, just to be safe?

If your gonna go lower in the future, you might as well do this now.

Even factory the specs in my opinion are off.
You can always get a camber/toe kit to make it perfect and then when you lower the car in the future (if you choose to do so) that hassle is already out of your way.

What are your specs? If your toe is in spec and your camber isn't too apeshiz nuts your tires will last anyway, but you could always get an aftermarket camber setup to change it more if you so desire.

Do we need rear as well, or just fronts? Rear when we lower, I would assume. Front only if stock?

Seems a good price?

You will definitely need the rear. Camber arms and toe bolts. Some people have more issues with the front then others. My car is lowered on coilovers without front arm but the alignment is close enough where the tires aren't affected.

The toe bolt is the one going thru the open end of the rear arm, right? What's the specs on it, looks like you can get it at Home Depot.

I ask, because I have some roaring in the front (mild) as well as a slight shimmy on light braking.

Trying to make everything kosher.

Edit: Sorry to hijack the thread, think of it as bumping til you scan the sheet
