Got my A-arms on & playing with Align #s

Got my upper control arms installed (performance Nissan) on
my SEDAN.

I've been playing with alignment. (dropped on Eibach pro)
Here are my #s

FRONT
camber -0.9 L & -0.8 R
Toe 0.4 both sides
REAR
camber -1.3 L & -1.1 R
Toe 0.08 L & 0.09 R

I was wondering if anyone had the stock spec coupe #s
for comparison.

I think it makes more sense to be closer to the coupe #s
with the drop.
All kinds of camber info on the search, but couldn't come up
with coupe spec #s.

If you can shine a light, it would be appreciated.

Here ya go, your drop actually puts you beyond the oem coupe ride height and more in line with the 350Z oem ride height. I have the 350Z specs on hand if you would like them. Make certain you dail in some rear toe in, this will help control drop throttle oversteer on the car.


FRONT


REAR

Thanks for the quick reply.
Never thought about the Z specs, but that makes a lot of sense.
If you have them handy I'd appreciate it.

Also;
The sedan front camber nominal is -0.04
& the coupe is -0.5
I would assume that the difference is due only to ride height
since they probably use the same fixed control arm.

So.... I guess the real question should be:
What is the optimum front camber setting (for the street)?

I'm very happy with the -1.1/-1.3 I'm running, though I wanted to set the rear at -1.6 but -1.3 is the most I could give myself on the oem adjustment system in the rear.

350z alignment specs

front specs as follows

Camber: negative or positive
Min:+.17
Norm: -.58
Max: -1.33

Total Toe in: half number for per side
Min: 0.0mm(0.0in)
Norm:-1mm(0.04in)
Max: -2mm(0.08in)

Caster: in degree's
Min: 7.58
Norm: 8.17
Max: 8.92


rear specs are as follows

Camber: All negative numbers in degree's
Min:-1.08
Norm:-1.58
Max -2.08

Total Toe in: All negative numbers (half each number to get per side)
Min: -0.2mm(0.006in) (17 inch tire)
Min: -1.1mm(0.043in) (18 inch tire)
Norm: -1.0mm(0.039in) (17 inch tire)
Norm: -1.9mm(0.075in) (18 inch tire)
Max: -1.8mm(0.071in) (17 inch tire)
