alignment specs

well dropped on tein 350z h-techs since friday. put about 700 miles on them so figured id go get it aligned. car was way out and this was the best they could do with the camber maxed. sorry for the crappy quality but i had to use my cam as my scanner is broken. any feedback?

-1.8 in the rear.....what the hell. You are running some serious negative camber.


why isnt your camber the same up front. It should be.


everything else looks good.

How does it drive?

Your right front has a good bit of camber at -2.0. If it drives all right, you could leave it. The tires might wear out a bit sooner than normal, but it won't really hurt anything. Some people might tell you that you need adjustable front control arms and suspension pieces to make the rear adjustable too, but it's up to you. All that stuff is expensive, you could just choose to let your tires wear a bit faster and maybe put up with a bit more noise.

The front and rear wheels have completely different suspension setups. They don't have to be the same.

I wasnt talking about front and rear. I was talking left and right. His front left and right are completely different. I could understand if they were a little off maybe a .1 or .2.

Im running -1.1 up front and -1.2 in the rear.

after the alignment, its like night and day. car feels a lot more solid. however there is still a tiny pull to the right. could that be because of the difference up front? i got 18k miles on my first t1-r's. ive got 12k on these right now. i figure ill just drive it as is and see how quick they wear out.

You should get camber kits. I'll give you a good deal on installation.

I think the most you can go is -1.25 for stock specs

+1, he does great work. I would be concerned with the significant difference in your front settings.
