camber
 

Hey guys.. I have a 2010 roadster.. I just put on new wheels and tires 20", and 20mm spacers too...along with eibach pro kit springs and sways. I have noticed that the rear tires have some neg camber.. its lowered only about an inch.. just want to get your opinions on weather ill need to install a camber kit or not.. I dont track it at all.. I just dont want to buy new tires any time soon.. thanks for your input... Jason

I have the same drop as you and I put rear spc camber arms and front too.

You will need at least the back then do the alignment and check to see if the front is out.

You can always buy the front later.

Here is what my alignment came in as with swift spec r springs and H&R spacers. Feedback welcome lol

You may want to get a front/rear camber kit to dial those numbers back closer to spec. I'm not sure how much it would really affect tire wear if you keep the alignment as is. I'm at a similar point but with a little more camber in the rear and slightly wider tires. As of now I'm keeping mine as is.

Thanks.. yeah I think im headed that direction... either that or dive into the corners harder lol :tup:

Yea I mean with the cost of the camber kit + install ($500+), it would have to save me a lot on tires to make it really worth it for me. If I autox or track and want more adjustability then thats different. In the long term I guess it would make sense even if it saved only like 1k miles per set of tires but by that time I'd probably have a new car or wouldn't really care lol

Thanks for your input guys..I just swapped out my stock 18s for 20s and love the look.. I just wanted to know what everyone else did.. I think Ill just keep the setup as is WITHOUT a rear camber kit and gauge what kind of mileage i get on these tires with this setup. if I observe any unusual wear, Ill add a camber kit when I get new tires.. (probably in 2 summers time).. love the look and how it handles though!

370Z Roadster Alignment Settings
 

FYI -- here are my alignment settings for my 2010 370Z Roadster before and after adding 10mmFront / 15mmRear spacers and Swift springs. The before alignment looked all out of whack and car handled poorly on the freeway. Now it sticks to the road.

Super Duper waking from the dead thread bump.... :ughdance:

Does anyone have the stock aligment specs for a 2013 sport package Z? Thanks!

Anyone? :icon14:

Caster out of Spec
 

2010 Touring / Sport Pkg.


Just got the 'ol Z Aligned today.

Caster Spec: 4.4 - 5.9 deg.

Caster (L) 4.5 (R) 4.3 (out of spec)

Is this unusual for these cars?

I don't see any way to adjust the caster.


Thanks for any info.

As you were told in the other thread. Stock, there is no way to adjust caster or camber in the front. To be able to adjust for camber and caster. You need to get upper control arms. Something like SPL.

I just got mine aligned...oh man, I think this guy really thought I wanted an aggressive setup...

FRONT: Left / Right
Camber: -1.6 / -2.1
Caster: 6.0 / 5.8
Toe: 0.10 / 0.08
Total toe: 0.17
Steer Ahead 0.01

REAR: Left / Right
Camber: -3.2 / -2.9
Toe: 0.18 / 0.22
Total Toe: 0.40
Thrust: -0.02

That seems like an aggressive amount of rear camber, right? I track the car, but it's on stock suspension and the 19" Rays with Pilot 4S's. Surprised they were even able to get 3 degrees of negative camber out of it...

What other thread?

I believe you posted the same question twice, on 2 different threads.
