2005 Coupe Factory Alignment specs? and D-Spec question
Anybody have a copy of the 05 (with the stock 19" rims) alignment settings from Infiniti?
I have the Eibach pro-kit, D-Specs, SPC rear camber arm/toe-bolt, and Kinetix front control arms.
Ideally I would like to get back to an exact OEM feeling, with possible a little more road "stickiness". I do A LOT of daily driving and do not want the ride to be harsh but I also like to open the car up on turns, so obviously don't want the ride too mushy.
If anyone could suggest a perfect alignment setting for my needs, it would be much appreciated!
Just a note, I have the D-Specs DSP-7's. If anyone could suggest a good damp. setting as well for my needs that would be great (I have heard that 5 turns from full stiff is probably what I'm looking for, but I wanted to verify.
As you can see I am a total noob with suspension and just want to be able to bring in where I want to be with the alignment to my guy and get it done.

I have the DSP7s (d-specs). At 1st I was running 4 turns from full hard and it felt very nice and handled great although since the roads by me are ok I felt it could be a little tighter. I turned it up to 3.5 turns from full hard and left it there for a few days and the handling improved but in that extra .5 turn I felt the ride quality drop. After that I moved it back to 4 turns and drove the car like that for 2 weeks.
Now after having my D-specs for 3 weeks I feel they have broken in to a certain degree. 4 Turns was feeling a little too soft so I moved it back to 3.5 turns from full hard and its perfect all around. So what I would recomend is if you are not going to adjust it put it at 3.5 turns from full hard and it will be some what stiff at 1st, but after a few weeks it will break in nice. Also your eibach springs are not helping the good handling feel you want, those are better for ride comfort not performance.
