Swift springs and my alignment
 
Today I took the Z to SG Motorsports. Got an Uprev and Alignment. I needed the alignment after dropping my car with swift springs. The drop looks good, the performance is great. I asked Sasha to give me a good performance alignment. I am interested in better performance than achieving factory specs. I didn't get much chance to test things out afterwards because it was raining heavily on the 2hr drive home, tomorrow I'll give it a good test. Anyways, here are the results.

Here is a crappy iPhone picture taken 20 minutes from home... the rain stopped long enough for me to run in, grab a coffee, empty the bladder and snap this pic on the way back out from the service centre.

ran a similar alignment for a while. you should be happy enough with it.

Turn in should be much improved

Thats what Sasha said. He was also saying he figured the new alignment would be good for -1 second a lap over the old specs... maybe for a seasoned racer like him. lol

was he not able to get the DF to 0 toe as well?

I'm not sure... I did tell them that my steering wheel was very slightly to the right while driving in a straight line, could this be compensating for that?

I had a chance to play with the car and the new set up. Me likey! Feels more planted in the corners, less understeer, tracks straight as an arrow. Best $115 spent on my Z.
