how are my specs?

Just got an alignment yesterday. I'm riding on 19's and Tein Basics. My mechanic said the rear is ok but couldn't get it quite to spec in the front. However, he feels I don't need a correction kit. What do you guys think?

Front Left Front Right
Actual Before Actual Before
-1.9 -1.8 Camber -1.5 -1.6
8.3 8.3 Caster 8.4 8.4
0.04 0.25 Toe 0.04 -0.12
5.8 5.7 SAI 5.3 5.4

Rear Left Rear Right
Actual Before Actual Before
-1.9 -2.8 Camber -1.8 -2.3
0.11 0.13 Toe 0.11 0.00

Wow, a shop that actually set's the toe evenly on each end.

On your toe settings, they show the right front before figure as toe in, but your after settings I read as postive. Was your toe set to IN or OUT?

Oem max coupe front camber settings allow for -1.25, your at -1.9/-1.5 you'll have to consider installing front camber arms to bring that level down, though we do see Z owner's with performance settings use such specs, you may not want to.

Oem max coupe rear camber settings allow for -1.75, your at -1.9/-1.8. Close to the oem limits, but if your toe has actually been set to the plus vs negitive your going to get move negitive camber in order to get the toe in you supposed to have.

negative degrees = toe out..so his toe is now set 0.04degrees inward which is correct.

actually the actual measurement isn't too bad. the front camber is off L/R but
it could be that your ride height is not set correctly.

Thanks for your responses. I was actually hoping you two would offer up your feedback . So bottomline, should I consider front camber arms (more $ ), re-adjust my front ride height, or leave it be?

i would check your front ride height. if it's even, then just let it be until next time you feel like getting an alignment.
