Alignment after coilovers, Help

Jawed · 03-03-2016, 01:12 AM

Alright guys so i just installed Megan Racing Coilovers on my Z and now i need an alignment obviously. So about this alignment, I know that the front should easily go right back into factory spec. but the rear,in order to get back factory spec, will i need camber arms, or can i get away with camber bolts, or even the factory stuff. Im lowered a good amount, ill post a picture. Cant find anything that answers this, Thanks!

You will need camber arms and toe bolts. Most people need this just with lowering springs, if you have coilovers then absolutely.

Also, I wouldn't be so sure about your front going back into spec unless you have adjustable upper-control arms.

The amount you are lowered will require adjustable control arms on the front (no factory adjustment), rear camber arms and toe bolts (factory adjutments will not allow enough adjustment).

This. Lowering the car will require F&R camber arms and toe bolts 98% of the time.

Save your self a lot of trouble and order SPL rear camber arms and not SPC. Also you will only need a rear set of toe bolts. Not 2 sets. You will also need front upper control arms.

Should of got true coils and SPL toe links so you can delete all that camber and toe bolt crap and just get a lockout kit for both.
