^ definitely not a mental thing.
I noticed a big improvement as well.

The little extra camber is a GOOD thing, that's what is improving your feel & turn in.
The toe in is something to look out for.

With more neg. camber toe is what really contributes to tire wear.
It's best to set to absolute min spec. fr. & rr.

I actually like mine a little edgier and have my toe set to 0.00 fr.
(forget the rear off the top of my head but it's less as well, proportional to the front)

Well, that makes me feel a better about the camber. The toe was exactly back to spec. So I guess I'm good to go. The steering just felt sloppy before the alignment, amazing what an alignment can do.

I just picked up a pair of 09 370Z Sport springs. Will these work in my 08 sedan?
