Alignment after Z spring install

I installed a set of z springs on Sat. I also tried to align the car the same day. I fixed everything but the rear camber. The best I could get it was -1.27 on the right side and -1.25 on the Left. What did you all do to fix this? or did you even need to? Is at least with in 350z or Coupe specs?

Can't help regarding the specs, but the rule of thumb I've always been told is to drive the vehicle for a week or so prior to adjusting the alignment. I guess the logic behind this is to allow the car to "settle" on the reworked suspension components. Not sure if this really holds true, but always made some sense I guess.

I've heard, read and been told the same thing. You should drive on your newly installed springs for about 1-2 weeks before performing an alignment.
Now @ least for your rear section you should look into some SPC rear camber toe bolts. Just my .02 cents. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

John,

Do you have a sedan or coupe? Any pics? I ha ve heard that the Z springs still have the rear lower than the front and that you might need spacers? Thanks

I have a sedan. And yes, the rear is a bit lower than the front. Nothing major though. Im thinking about putting the stock rears back on and cutting the boots down a little to even the ride height.
