370Z springs experiment

It's more what the drop lets you do with the setup.
Camber:
With this drop my front camber is exactly where I want it for a sport street setup.
LF = -1.2°
RF = -1.6°
IMO this perfect! (other than being able to even them out)
On other cars I've owned, that had camber adj. I normally dialed them in about this number.
My MZ4 I had set to -1.8°
IMO, I wouldn't drop any lower w/o a kit.
LR & RR = -1.6°
With the rear drop the adj. cam is maxed out at this setting.
Toe:
LF & RF = 0.00°
LR & RR = 0.04°
Taking toe out greatly reduces tire wear with more neg. camber.
Keep in mind that the factory setup is designed for 95% of their client base;
Mostly corporate suits and Moms & Pops.
With my setup now the car feels MUCH more athletic & agile.
It feels wonderfully 'planted', has a better turn in.
On the way in I hit a couple of on ramps that I know very well,
the car carved those ramps like never before.

I know adding some sways would take this to another level,
but after my drive yesterday & considering that this is my DD,
I don't think I'll bother. (at this point

One thing to keep in mind for the X owners....
With the little extra front weight, you will get a slightly lower drop &
as a result, more neg. camber.

It's going to be an unfortunate reality though, until more of them hit the street.
I still think the best bet is to monitor the 370Z forums.
Maybe you'll get lucky like I did.
