Looks and sounds amazing!

Finally got my car aligned. I've been riding on these for 9-10 months, probably a couple thousand miles.

I didn't get a shot of the final specs, but we got the rear camber down to 2.6 and 2.4, corrected the toe for the front/rear, and left the front camber as is. No camber kit or toe bolts were used at all, and I'll leave the specs as is since it is not a daily driver

Awesome build thread. Motivating me to look into swapping out the stock lights for something a little better.

Such a great looking Z and the stock rays look great. I've got to look into some spacers as well. Keep it going man!

LOL those are close to track settings. I had pretty much the same specs until I did the alignment. Turns had to be a lot of fun :p

thanks for the kind words

I have a track event this saturday, it will be my first ever. I think with 2.5 degrees in the rear, it should still be pretty good. I just want to have fun and come back with the car in one piece

Car's looking good! I got around the same camber specs with swifts with no camber arms (1.6 in the fronts and 2.6 in the rears).

Thanks.

The future course for this car will likely depend on this track session. If I think that it is something I want to continue to do, then the mods will be a little different.
If not, then some nice wheels will be in the picture.

even at -2 i dont use the entire contact patch of the tire lol. might be the camber curve from being so low though.
