Most probable spring w no need for cam kit

edge573 · 09-06-2011, 08:54 PM

I just put on Tein springs and after the alignment was all in spec. no camber kit for me.

Can you notice the drop from quick glance or plain view or is it very subtle. Part of my thinking was any spring not needing a camber kit bc of mild drop was also one without a noticeable drop where someone driving on the highway could see the drop

The swift drop is definitely noticeable

bull poop... you cant adjust front camber.... if you lowered the front the camber changed. how is it back to factory spec?

i put swifts on and front is in spec. front camber isn't affected to much by droppin these things an inch or less. rear is what goes to hell. do a lil searching and you will see.

i dropped mine an inch and i have an alignment print out of -1.6 and -1.5 up front. both not within factory spec. maybe its different with a nismo. hmm

Pretty much everybody sees this result...front camber changes very little with a drop. I was well in spec.

Do you think there is a sharp cutoff or something?

Again, I ran 2.6 degrees and saw totally even wear. Saw outside wear on the factory 1* setting.

if you did thats amazing!!! can you snap a pic of your wore tires next time you change them. id love to see how -2.6 camber in the rear causes even tire wear..

again it must be the wider tires and wheel on the nismo, if EVERYONE is seeing the same thing.

I wound up with 1.5 up front, had been 1.3 before drop--still in "spec"

Here's 7.5k on 2.6 degrees
