Too Soon to get it Aligned?

Hello all,

I just got my 2005 G35 Coupe lowered with Tanabe NF210 springs this past Tuesday (04/04/06) and the rear camber looks pretty bad to the eye. I know I'm supposed to let it settle before getting it aligned again, but would getting it aligned this Saturday (04/08/06) be too soon? I've been told anywhere from "a few days" to "a few weeks."

you'll need to take it in a few times to get it 'right.' so just take it in.

I dropped on the Tokico/Tein combo and got it aligned on the spot just in case. I'm getting it realigned in a couple weeks.

does the alignment fix the camber or will you still need aftermarket kit?

I'll have to wait to get it aligned to find that out...

I got her aligned yesterday and my rear camber is off. I'm at about -2.5 degrees and spec is about -1.8 degrees. The guy there said to not worry about it since my toe is now accuarate... he said incorrect toe is worse than camber when it comes to eating through tires. I'll have to see my tire wear over the next few months to be sure.

The front was very very close to spec and therefore not an issue.
