My alignment after Swifts
 
So I installed swift springs a week ago and just had an alignment done.

Seem typical for swifts? The shop didn't bother messing with the limited camber adjustment on the rears, but told me that I can get re-aligned for free once I install the necessary parts.

Is the front decent enough for me to get by without the adjustable camber arms?

Thanks!

Wow! Nice rear numbers. New record I think.

Well shucks...not sure if I want to be that record holder. Haha.

Is the front camber decent enough to go without needing the kit or should I really consider it due to tire wear?

This is a daily driver and I don't plan on tracking the car.

Fronts fine. I'd want more for handling but tire wear will happen faster. For the street -2 and -1.8 will be nice. Track guys shoot for -3. At that front I'd want no more than -1.5 rear.

You need rear camber arms. As said for street no more than -1.5 rear

equalme 12-20-2013 11:42 PM

Awesome.

So on the rear, although no more than -1.5, is there a specific number I should tell the tech to shoot for? And rear toe, try to zero it out?

Thanks!

Zero toe all the way around. Specific number should be -1.5 camber. Reason is cause our cars have a good bit of compression in the rear and will experience more camber under load.

Kinetix advertises their traction arms to adjust toe, SPL does not. I'd shoot for zero toe also but I wouldn't buy the aftermarket eccentric bolts to get it. I made a lockout kit (so no eccentric bolts, so no way to slip alignment) and will be doing all camber and toe in the arms. Just an FYI, buy camber arms and bolts or camber arms and traction arms. I vote arms.

Looks like the Kinetix camber/traction arms is an additional $120 more than the SPC camber arm and toe bolts. Worth it?

Shop around, Zspeed and Z1 have the best prices, I think if u get the fronts from one place and the rears from the other you can get a good deal.

Maybe not if you're a street driver. AMS is way cheaper though.
