Swift springs and my alignment

GaleForce · 10-25-2011, 08:10 PM

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.

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.
