What the hell are you smoking? A 0.6 front difference and above -2.0 rear is not fine!

I just sit back a laugh now. Very far and few here know what's right. No reason to even give your knowledge. They'll learn the hard way.

Thanks for posting this...I am using your experience to help mine. Just bought swift springs. Deciding on my camber and toe kit currently. Probably going with the SPC stuff from Z1 also. I don't track the car. Just spirited occasionally. Thanks for making this thread. I will follow it until you have an end result.

Hmmmm. Interesting. Only person who said its okay. Any camber wears? Cause its my DD and im worring about my tire life. Thanks!

Looks like you need front arms and toe bolts in the back.

At the minimal, the 0.6 camber difference from left to right is not ok. Nissan wouldn't let a car roll off the assembly with that big of a difference.

Get the necessary parts to get it back to what it should be.

What do I need? Front camber arms?

Why my rear camber values dont go to stock spec even though I have kits

. And now front cambers are problem too

Clicked on your z1 link but showed an empty page. First make sure you have purchased the toe bolt. Call z1 if you are not sure.

See post #13 and #14: if you have both the aftermarket toe bolt and camber arms, the tech should be able to get both back in spec. Find a decent alignment place for a second look. Camber and toe change together. An inexperience tech may get one back in spec then get stranded on the other.

Google which NTB locations are lowered cars friendly. Skill levels can vary greatly among different locations.

Because you only bought the rear camber arms, instead of everything you need to do the job right. It's not a surprise. If you lower the car, you can expect to need front and rear camber arms and toe bolts. Otherwise you won't be able to align the car in spec.

Because your car isn't at stock specs anymore.

Im pretty sure that bought toe bolts with camber arms together becuase the package that I bought from said, it adjust degrees of camber and toe. I know Im not in stock spec anymore but that is why I bought these things to get back to.

I should try to get an alignment from other places then. Thanks guys.

When you opened the box, did it have toe bolts in there with the camber arms? Did the shop have to drill out the factory holes for the toe bolts? If they didn't drill anything, toe bolts weren't installed.

You're still going to need front arms. A million alignments are not going to solve your problem in front because the stock arms don't have enough adjustment.
