I have my car lowered on full 350Z suspension. I never got an alignment, not after i installed my new rims/tires, not after dropping, not after getting a new set of tires. I have watched the tread wear very closely and paid extra attention to whether the car was pulling or not. Everything has been fine, I have had a little bit of edge wear but I chalk that up to cornering hard on the quasi-rural roads I take to work every morning. There are great stretches where I can go all out tourismo style with no other cars around for miles.

the tire is feathered a bit and its on the outer edge.
visually....it looks like there is a bit of toe in...but I am not sure if my eyes are that accurate + my allignment came out fine last time

Dem be fightin words
It's taking me a while but the day after new years I'm gettin my stuff. I'm gettin some '06 350z wheels and the z-tube and stock 350z springs from guy down in orlando. So soon I'll have pics to show. Also, I'm going to have Forged Performance put in some eibach pro-kits for me. I work 2 seconds away from these guys and they have some sick turbo z's and g coupes.
