People with lowered sedans
I lowered my previous car and it always pulled to the right now matter how much I had it aligned. For the guys that lowered their sedans, does your car pull? Or does it go straight after an alignment?

No problems here. My sedan drives straight as an arrow. You should ALWAYS get an alignment after lowering though. You could have camber or toe issues that need to be addressed. You may also need A-arms to correct camber issues.
If you get a proper alignment you should be ok, but if the alignment shop just puts each wheel within the spec'd range and doesn't make sure both wheels are the same spec then you may have issues. Mine seemed to pull to the right after I put my rims on but it seemed to have went away on it's own and goes straight now.
so far i have lowered two sedans.. mine and a friends (who refuses to join the forum because he is computer illiterate). mine has yet to have an allignment done on it and it drives straight as an arrow. his has no pulling issues either. was your other car a front wheel drive? they pull to the right or left depending on what make it is because of torque steer.

we have an alighment machine here at the shop i work at and i am running 1.4 degrees left and 1.5degrees right and i don't really plan to do anything about fixing it. my tires seem to be wearing pretty well. i can not check the rear too well because our machine is tempremental with two sensors.

Sport or Base?
If sport you will be OK
If Base then I'd def think about changing
For you guys with the negative camber, is it that way because there is no more adjustment for the camber (maxed out)? or did you guys set it that way?
Basically, I just want to know if lowering the car, say, 1 inch, is going to give it negative camber issues and inner tire wear..

I installed the upper control arms from performance nissan.
If you seach the topic you'll find othe camber solutions as well.
It's amazing to me that people spend 30k on a vehicle and $200 on lowering springs, but won't fork out $70-$100 to insure that their tires will wear evenly - $100 alignment is a heck of alot cheaper than $600-$1000 for some good rubber...
