Need your feedback on alignment...
 
Can those in the know give me your opinion on my alignment specs. Car is on Swifts and has SPC front and back.

Left Front: Right Front:
Camber -0.6 -0.5
Caster 5.5 5.4
Toe .11 .10


Left Rear Right Rear
Camber -1.5 -1.5
Toe .16 .15



Thanks

How do you drive the car? It is set up fine for DD but..

I'd give it more negative camber in the front for sure and even a little more in the rear depending on what you do with the car.

Caster is fine

Less toe-in all around

Agreed with Mandingo. I'd leave the toe in the front with more camber. I personally like camber on the higher end of spec for daily so -1.2 to -1.4 in front. Rears are ok. Id get rid of the toe though. My personal setup is -2.6 in front with .1 toe in up front and -2.0 in the rear with almost no toe.

So overall as a DD just reduce the toe?

Thanks for your feedback!

SPOHN 07-31-2013 08:08 PM

For DD the camber is fine. But get the toe zeroed out front and rear.

For a little more spirited driving put the front camber at -1. To think of it I'd run the front camber to -1 anyways.

I'm surprised they went so low on front camber. Any before and afters? After I do swifts I'm wondering what I have to work with. Are those stock settings?

Front camber is not adjustable with the stock components. To adjust front camber you have get after market front upper control arms.

Thanks for the tips guys :tiphat:

I will ask the shop to zero my toe front and rear and give me -1.0 front camber

I know this. ;)

If I'm shooting for -2.5 and hit it than I don't need to buy anything :tup:. Rear I know I need to buy since I'm above where I wanna be before I even lower.

Depends on what you are doing
I would leave the Rear toe settings alone and if anything remove it from the front.

synolimit 08-02-2013 04:35 PM

OP do you have a before and after alignment?

Leave the rear toe, even considering the amount of dynamic toe we have? 0.01 Toe seems perfect for the rear of a 370Z [that squats any amount].

I'm lost. You say leave the rear toe but then say 0.01 is perfect. Pretty big gap there of .16-.15 to 0.01.

It is a question for Dwnshift. Hence the ?
He says to leave it. I think 0.01 is better, but he may know more.

Dwnshift 08-03-2013 04:13 PM

Ok I may be looking at this wrong.
:)
But I suggest 1.5 to 2 mm of toe in per side on the rear.
