Just got my alignment done on my G lowered on 350Z suspension. Review numbers

My alignment update:

Here's the factory specs for the 04-05 sedans with sport suspension:

Front:
Camber: -0.8/0.7
Caster: 7.0/8.5
Toe: 0.00/0.08

Rear:
Camber: -1.1/-0.1
Toe: 0.00/0.22

Specs after installing 05 350Z full suspension and before the alignment:

Front:
Left: Right:
-0.8 Camber -1.5
8.3 Caster 9.3
-0.01 Toe 0.00

Rear:
Left: Right:
-1.5 Camber -1.3
0.12 Toe 0.04

Specs after alignment:

Front:
Left: Right:
-0.9 Camber -1.4
8.3 Caster 9.3
0.05 Toe 0.05

Rear:
Left: Right:
-1.0 Camber -1.0
0.07 Toe 0.10

How are these specs? They mentioned that I should purchase a Camber kit, but I just said no

camber looks way off, plan on premature tire wear without a camber kit

i have comments . they are similar to my numbers, but one thing i noticed is that your front camber differential is more than twice mine. the differential being the difference between left and right. usually it's ok if your camber is out of spec as long as the differential is close to zero while the toe is within spec. same thing for front caster differential. one thing for me tho, i just swapped my springs...

if you like, PM me and i can send you my #'s

your aligned numbers look okay to me, however, just like what absoluteg has said, you might want to lower the front camber differential to maybe < 0.3

front camber is non-adjustable unless you purchase and install a camber kit, otherwise the numbers are not toooo far out of spec. for being lowered.

+1
The -1.0 to -1.5 is strange. I have about -1.5 on both with H&R springs.

The camber is a bit off from R/L, but what most do not realize, is it's toe that will wear tires out FAST, not camber....

sorry cracker, but are you on crack?!?! Camber is what wears tires faster than anything, depending whether it is positive or negative, excessive camber will prematurely wear the inside or outside of the tire. Toe is a factor in tire wear but toe settings attribute to the steering being straight.

I believe this difference is attributed to the car from the factory. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times in reference to it pulling to the right. The problem was that I but wheels and tires on the car pretty early into the game of the new purchase and dealer placed blame on the aftermarket stuff. The car is still pulling to the right, just as it has since new??? I have called the dealer numerous times to get copies of the alignement specs but somehow they can't find them?? So I'll just have to watch for excessive tire wear.

Thanks for the comments
