Hello all...I just dropped my 05 Coupe and wondering to see if theres anything you can suggest on making my cambers get back to within specs. Im using the TEIN Basics with the SPC Rear Camber Kit and below are the results I got. Everything else is stock including the OEM 19 inch rims. My questions are:

1. Are my front cambers pretty bad? If so any reccomendations?

2. Has anyone on this site used the ACP 350Z/G35 Adjustable Front Camber Arms listed at this link:

3. The alignment shop said that my control arm bushings were cracked and said I should get some Polyurethane bushings. How important is this and any brands you can recommend?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

your front cambers seems to be imbalance betwen the left and right. Is this after alignment?

It's weird to see your right side having so much more negative camber than the left.

 

-2.8 front is too much unless you're racing or something and specifically need that much front lateral grip.

the rears L/R is too far apart too. should be within 0.2 degrees. the toe looks ok.

 

Can you reccomend any Front Camber Kits other than the Stillen ones? Is my cambers being off due to an alignment shop problem or is the car just too low and out of whack?

 

yes this is after an alignment.

 

i think it has to do with the alignment shop, at least the left and right should be more equally negative. Is the right side signififcantly lower than the left?

 

Is this with you sitting behind the wheel............makes a difference as your weight will lower left side...........after all the driving conditions must be maintained to preset the static misalignment

 

^^ but it won't drop THAT much unless you're like over 300lbs or something.

we had a discussion about corner balance long time ago and was determined that the balance of the car mandates more than just driver weight.

sure the weight of the driver will tilt the car a tad, but not -1.6 vs -2.8

 

I appreciate all the help...I do have one last question...

looking at the ride height:

Left Rear: 13.3 inches
Right Rear: 13.4 inches

Left Front: 15.5 inches
Right Front: 15.3 inches


Should it be the other way around? Meaning the front lower and the back higher? Is it going to make a difference?
