Decreasing Negative Camber?

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.

Sounds like a good plan. I tend to naturally assume nothing is done right the first time..

Thanks for the responses everyone!

I want to point out that 24k on the RE050A's is very very good. Most folks get less than 20k out of them. I replaced them at 14k and 3-4 track days. The track wasn't too hard on them 'cause like most I was really slow at first.

Thank you for the compliment, my z isnt a track car its a dd (to solve any future confusion by other members). They were nice and sticky but if im shelling out 1300 for tires I want it to last longer than that. Im still disgusted at nissan for releasing my car to the public in the condition that it was in. My fronts could have gone longer had they not been featherd to hell like they were....oh well thats life i suppose.
