My alignment with swift springs and stock arms and bolts

Recently had my 15 nismo lowered on swifts and here is my alignment 300 miles later on stock arms and bolts. To give an idea on how close you can probably get it without camber arms or bolts.

Thank you for posting that. Let this serve as a guide for others. I'm sure you will want to get SPL rear camber links in the near future to bring your rear camber down to -1.5 or thereabouts.

Your left-to-right front camber and caster measurements have very little variance, which is very good.

You may have a little too much rear toe in, which may wear the tires a bit more, even though your values are right in the middle of the OEM range. Were you maxed out on the OEM toe bolt's adjustment range?

From all the searching I've done and the threads I've read, it seems a good street alignment calls for trying to hit the minimum toe values for both front (.04) and rear (.08). Those who drive more aggressively or track their cars would suggest zero toe front and back, perhaps even a small amount toe out (negative toe) in the front, but these settings will likely reduce stability at highway speeds.

This is nice info. I will have to look into the specs and which is maxed out. These stock tires have almost 8k on them. I will keep an eye on how they wear out
