Your toe is a little straighter than OEM nominal specs, front and rear, but not bad. http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...ent-specs.html Should feel pretty quick to turn as is. A little more positive toe

Stock alignment specs? Should feel pretty quick to turn as is. A little more positive toe would make it more straight line stable without too much affect on tire wear. But if you like it I don't think you need to change it. Camber and caster are good unless you want to track the car. |

I would think your toe would be great for track. Don't really need more camber in the rear in my opinion but this may come down to preference. Definitely could use more negative camber and positive caster up front but honestly if you did nothing this would be a good place to start for track sessions. I'd at least track it once before you adjust it or put on camber/caster front arms to know what it feels like before and after on track.

Your front camber is close to "minimum" at -1.12, that means it leans in. Closer to nominal spec (-.4) would make you straighter up and down. More negative camber helps to "flatten out" out the tire during cornering creating more grip. There will be a lot of difference of opinion on this but a lot of people will run -2 camber up front because the Z tends to push at the front. More negative camber, more grip in the corner (to a point). Your rear camber is pretty close to nominal at -1.4. This is pretty acceptable. Again lots of opinions on this but something closer to -1.11 would be better out back. My reasoning is as follows: More rear camber means less grip in a straight line. Our cars have a lot of negative camber gain as the suspension compresses so less initial camber is needed. So less negative camber out back means more grip during acceleration but still enough during cornering. Take this all with a grain of salt. There is a lot to know about suspension setup and LOTS of opinions. And remember, there is no perfect. Street/Track, surface type, race type all affect optimal settings. |

Last year I installed Z1 motorsports upper control arms. Then had a 4 wheel alignment. What a difference. The Z1 arms have 6 degrees of caster built in which help with turn in. The align was what most suggested for a track/street set up. Some camber and some toe. Best money spent for the dollar.
