Regardless of what you guys are running (350Z susp, Tokico's, Tein, etc.), are you running the stock or close to stock alignments specs or have you guys changed to the 350Z's or coupe's...seeing as they are more aggressive?

 

Front
Caster 8.5
Toe .05 per side
Camber -1.5 per side
Rear
Toe .08 per side
Camber .8 per side

 

Alignment specs, what are those...haha! I'm running -2.75 camber on all four corners, front camber is the natural camber at my ride height and the rears are dialed in so the tire is right at the fender.

 

Well most people choose to run at a certain spec either for racing purposes or for tire fitment, there are a couple more reasons.

But if you dont have any reason. I would just aim for stock specs, or the closes they can bring it to. if you have a full SPC kit, you should have 90% of the fields in Green if not all.

Toe and camber are what kills tires.

 

That's what I did. Put on the Z springs and then told the guy to get it as close as he could. It's within 1/2 deg of spec in the front and 1 deg in the back.

 

-1 front, -1.5 rear

Car is sitting pretty low, but I got the SPC F/R camber kits to get em back in spec.

 

^ pvssy camber, hahah

 

pvssy camber allows me to buy sick **** tires (Michelin Pilot Sport 2) and not have to replace them every 6 months. It also allows me to buy a BBK which you do not have

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

I dunno full specs, but all I know is I have-3.5 camber in the rear and need more.

 

^ judging from that picture, its by choice tho.



G sedan, i think you can run stock camber and be ok. I ran those 265/40 PS2 @ stock height no issues, I'm running now lowered but obviously the car cambers itself when you go lower.

 

Not necessarily by choice, it's more because I have to...here's a larger pic so you can see why.



Fitting a 10.5 is not quite the easiest thing to do, which is why it's still not completely finished.

 

-2 on all 4 corners. i'm too cheap and lazy to buy a camber kit.

 

350Z springs in the front, coupe springs out back

Front camber: 1.0
Rear camber: 1.1
Front toe: 0.16' total
Rear toe: 0.22' total

I told the shop to set my front toe to max spec as it's one of the ways Nissan fixes the front tire feathering issue that plagues the Z (and G on Z springs). I didn't realize until about a week after the alignment that the shop also set my rear toe to max toe-in. On the OEM 215/55R17, the handling is fine, but with my wider 18X8 235/45 summer tires, the car can be darty, but it has amazing lateral grip and turn-in on the auto-x course. I am going to dial back a bit of the rear toe and hopefully reduce some of the dartiness.

 

IMO, aftermarket front camber arms are really not that necessary if you're toe is on-spot. I'm running a 9.5" wide wheel and using stock camber up front. Save your money, only buy a rear one if needed.

 

levin, do you have pics of your new wheels?? yeah, i haven't been on driver for about a week haha
