I'm going to get my first alignment since having my 350z/G35coupe springs put on. They've settled and I have an SPC front and rear camber/toe kits ready to take over to an alignment shop just incase it's needed. For those that have had their cars aligned what were your specs? Before? After? With or with out camber kit?... Thanks.

stock coupe specs and stock g35 sedan with sport package are the same, I believe.

In my mechanic's book he said he tried to put the rears back into sedan specs but couldn't. I read somewhere that with the z springs you need to put them to coupe specs, so I told him and he got them very close. But maybe his book didn't have multiple sedan variations; like sport, non-sport, etc? He said that I would probably wanna go with a simple rear camber kit eventually so I'll keep aware of tire wear. The front alignment is on the money though.

set specs to coupe of the same year of your car. I did that when I installed z/coupe springs. front camber was out of spec by .5* and rear was right in spec. your major concern is that toe is set properly after camber is adjusted to specs.

the reasoning for using coupe specs, is because the coupe is .5" lower than the sedan. the sport package sedan sits the same height as the non sport package. if you have lowered the car around inch, then i would use the coupe specs.

Sweet... I'm living on the edge, though. I bought those 07 coupe springs with 12 miles on them that came off of the 19" wheel package... So I will see how the 25% stiffer rate does in the rear. But I need to get them installed and I will tell them to go with the coupe specs.

I was looking for something along these lines.... (stolen from another tread)

"SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts. I have em and i'm lowered the same as you in the rear. I was able to bring my rear camber from -2.2/2.3 to -1.6/1.7 with the kit, and on both sides the toe is around 0.10"

When I go to the alignment shop I will tell them I need to know where the camber is at currently and to adjust it to 05 Coupe camber/toe specs or something along the line of the post above. Since I live in Hawaii where there are more coupes than anything else on the road shops are use to dealing with Modded coupes and 350z I always have to explain exactly what I want.
