BC Racing & SPL A Arms Installed - Alignment question
BC Racing & SPL A Arms Installed - Alignment question
Installed BC Racing coilovers and SPL front A arm kit (V3) on my O3 G35 coupe. Car is lowered about 3/4 inch. Nothing radical. I added shims to put my front camber at 0 and adjusted for a slight caster issue to get closer to 8 degrees on assembly.
My alignment shop tried to get to my preferred settings, but ran out adjustment both front and rear. Front camber is -.07 and .05. Front toe is +,06 and ,05. Rear camber is -1.1 and 1.4. Rear toe is +.08 and .07, I'm OK with toe seetings, but wanted to get camber down to about .03 or less. Car has camber arms on the rear.
A couple of questions for those more seasoned in this than me:
1. Shouldn't I be able to get to near 0 camber on the front? Every shim is installed in the SPL arm and I should be at +1, but am stuck at -.05 with no more adjustment.
2. The caster is at 9 and 9.4. I can probably adjust back to around 8, but do I need to? Is that possibly limiting my camber adjustment range? Everything I've read says positive castor even out of specs is not a bad thing,
The car drives really nice with this set up. I have the shocks set at 15 and it is a comfortable ride. My goal in all this was to improve handling and extend tire life.
Appreaciate any and all advice.
\Thanks
