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.

a proper alignment shop will have the target factory settings on their alignment computer. just ask them to get it close to factory as possible.

for some reason they only have the 03+ (including 05) with 18 inch rims, not the 19's. Not sure how much of a difference it makes but I assume it does.

if they're going by degrees, it makes no difference.

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.

^^ that's right. the D-Specs (as with any dampers) needs break-in.

my D-specs felt almost brittle at first, but after break-in feels so nice.
