Decreasing Negative Camber?

roy'sz · 11-08-2012, 11:42 AM

In my hindsight I got my z and never touched the alignment until I had to get tires for the rear at 24k. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE THAT WAS!!! Nissan sent the car to dealership with so much toe out that my front tires were feathered really bad, as well as the rears. I had almost half tire life in front and 1/4 in rear. I wore them down damn near to bald. I bought a little bit harder compound tire so that it would last me a little bit longer. I also noticed when I got my car alligned that the front wasn't adjustable and that there was almost a full degree of difference of camber between passenger and driver side of car. So I bought the kinetix upper control arm and got it set to -.7 with no toe in front, also -1.7 rear with almost no toe. When you get your z after having it a week say that the car is pulling and take it into the dealership for a FREE alignment check and they will be able to tell you where you car sits at as far as alignment. I ran my tires about 33-34 and it seems good so far.
