I just got the car aligned. Running TEIN basics, Kinteix Front A-arms, SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts. Not sure how to read this but could anyone tell me if i'm back in spec? If not, whats wrong. Thanks in advance - Bobby

Camber Front Left -0.66
Camber front Right -1.21
Camber rear Left - 1.48
Canmber rear Right - 1.46

Total toe rear .21
Total toe front .33

Cross camber front 0.56
Cross caster front -.08

Thrust angle .08

 

From what i know... you're within specs.
Your rears are fine...

Of the four, it seems like the Front Right is the most out of place.
However it's still under -1.25 which is the most negative factory spec.
(that's with 18s tho)

Do you roll 19s?

 

im on the stock 17's for now

 

Not sure what units they're using, but based on the specs below, I think your front total toe, cross camber and cross caster are off.

Specs from the Service Manual (applies to Coupe with both 17's and 18's):

FRONT:

Camber:
Min: -1.25*
Nominal: -0.50*
Max: 0.25* (* = decimal degree)
Camber L & R Difference: .75*

Total Toe:
Min: 0mm (0 in)
Nominal: 1mm (0.04 in)
Max: 2mm (0.08 in)

Caster L & R Diff: .75*


REAR:

Camber:
Min: -1.75*
Nominal: -1.25*
Max: -.75*

Total Toe:
Min: 0mm (0 in)
Nominal: 1.8mm (.11 in)
Max: 5.6mm (.22 in)

 

You have the ability to adjust camber, why on earth would the shop push a car out the door as "finished" with that much of a differance in front camber, shame on them. Take the car back and make them set the left camber -1.2. Also, you have way too much toe, which is toe "in" I hope. In the front, have them dial the car to .02" per side (.04" total front toe in) In the rear I would have them set the rear toe in to .055 per side or .110" total. Again, make sure they are giving you toe in, not toe out. Also, make sure they keep the rear camber even side to side when they do the toe work.

 

Thanks for the feedback g35sedan. I'll call them later to see whats up.

 

Definitely too much toe-in on the front. Rear could use a little more if
coupe.

 

Hey guys would the fact that my car is 1/4 inch higher on the right rear side explain the discrepancy? My coilovers are set at the same point on the rears but the right side has always been a little higher.

 

No love for me, huh?

 

I'm sure he appreciated your post, I for one thought your posting of the oem coupe specs was beyond what most people are willing to do, keep up that spirt.

 

O my Bad! I actually printed out those specs from your post! Thanks G35fromPA! Your post was greatly appreciated.

 

could be..

You need to put the car on a flat surface and even out the ride
height. Would be best if you can have someone to measure it
while you're in the driver seat.

If you really want to corner balance correctly, you'll need to
undo the endlinks from the swaybars, get adjustable endlinks,
match ride height, and then adjust the endlinks and tie
everything down.

 

I figured...I was just bustin' chops.

Anyway, happy to do it. I've received plenty of great advice from this and other forums, so I always try to give back when I have the knowledge or ability.
