Here's what I'm running, generally happy with this

Front camber: -2.00
Rear camber: -2.50
Front caster: +6.00 (stock is 5.0)
Front toe: 0.00
Rear toe: +0.10

I'm not the world's expert on all this but here are my thoughts...

I have less front negative camber, but I get more front roll-induced camber because I set the caster +1 over stock to 6.0. I like the higher caster angle b/c it helps hold straight track with a neutral to slight toe-out setting. I may toe-out front a hair to get quicker turn-in response and scale back understeer, but it is pretty much fine now and appropriate considering stock bushings create some minor compliance and toe-out under acceleration. I have modest rear toe-in now and will probably have that dialed to neutral or slight toe out next time around... Some rear toe out would be appropriate to help balance out understeer tendancy and more if you like to hang it out... as you mention tire life is tradeoff on toe settings.

The only thing I would worry about going toe out in the rear is bump steer. When under braking or going over bumps where weight is transfered off the rear, raising your suspension, your toe will go out even more and could cause some pretty hairy moments under braking.

The guy I go to is also very good, he setup a couple of big time winning cars apparently. I'm not sure where your settings are, i looked at your journal and didnt find much in the way of a setup, just some camber settings.

I will take this into account too. I am going to ask him what he thinks I should do as well and go from there. I'll let you guys know what I end up with tomorrow. I'm not going to lower the front any more, just taking the rear up a notch so its even with the front. I know it could "look" more aggressive, but suspension travel is good on track...

No problem - http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...t-results.html

I gave them the 2009 370z OEM factory settings that was posted on here as a baseline and told them to go more aggressive based on that...

Granted I havent tracked the car since then but it still feels solid. You might have to get it done twice just to get it the way you want.

That's a good point and considering this car is already light in the back prob better to run neutral rear toe or +0.1 like mine is now

I think I'm going to keep the toe at 0 guys. Maybe 1/16th...will let you know what happens tomorrow night.

Got enough speed bumps? Eheh..... BTW, the stillen intake/exhaust system sounds awesome!

Thanks!

Alright, so alignment went well. Everything is working brilliantly. I left the car up a little bit so I can clear my speedbumps.

We are doing a little bit of testing, went with -2 camber front and rear. and .05 toe in rear.

We will see how that fares.

beautiful journal, just went through the 17 pages so far
+1 :icon17:

Thank you! It's been dormant for a little while, but it'll come back. Its too damn hot in Miami to do anything.

yeah here in jax, we're breaking 100 every day if its not raining, cant imagine how hotter miami is

Car definitely felt a LOT better when the suspension was lower. I am going to set it back down and find a way to deal with the speedbumps...

Stillen Pulley?
 

What's the status on your Stillen pulley? I'm curious to know what you think about it. Looks like the only mod left standing in your signature!

Yup, never installed it. I was thinking about going to the underdriven ones. Next time the cars in the shop I might consider throwing it in...

From what I heard, not a huge difference, more difference with the underdriven ones. I may sell this one or trade with someone.

Well time to go bye bye!

I wonder why they always spam on my thread...

Might be the tag at the bottom I see.

They look for the highest traffic threads and spam them......don't let that go to your head now

It already has with that comment.

Awesome write up here. I'm looking to move to Tampa area, buy a Z, and do some track days and start the mod-insanity over the next year. This has been an informative thread. :tup:

With that said, let's try to keep the off-topic replies and bumps and comments off of here so only the important stuff gets said...... well crap.... I just screwed up THAT idea. :icon18:


:gtfo2: okay, okay, i can read the sign

So RCZ, you said you had a WRX or STI in one of these 18 pages of thread, so you like the Z alot better I take it? Supposedly the WRX or STI can get better track times with a lot less money, anyhow, I guess i'm deciding between the Z and Subie, leaning toward the Z.

Wha?

Definitely go with the Z. Way more fun and I think it can be made to go pretty quick around the track. It's probably as fast as my STI was now. The Z is so much more enjoyable.

Sorry, meant with the tag.

I didnt put that tag there

Subscribing

Very good write up, I am still on your intro page but well worth the time to read all 18 pages to catch up.

Btw: great color choice!

Cheers
Curtis

Thanks, glad I can help :)

I've decided to pick up some Stillen sway bars (surprise) to get rid of my last bit of body roll, expect a review with pictures and video in the following weeks. Will try and get a stock Z to do a comparison slalom video of stock vs kwv3 vs kwv3+sways.

^^Nice.

Looks like you are going for a full out Stillen car minus the suspension. I hope Stillen is giving you some sort of a kick back on the parts for repping a Stillen car. :tup:

Can't wait to see the video.

Were you...uhhh..."Having fun" on Friday night?

They have definitely helped me out!

What do you mean? Maybe you saw another 370.... Also, I saw a red Nismo and a PG touring on the beach saturday during the day, I thought no one had Nismos here yet.

Lol, your tag. I thought it was the same one that I saw on Friday. That 370 had some mods and was murdering a LOT of cars. I haven't seen a Nismo on the road but they're at Esserman Nissan IIRC.

I'm going to head over there and td one.

Oh I dont know, there's a bunch of PG Z's around here now. I was having a quiet dinner and reading a book friday night.

Great stuff! :roflpuke2:

:tup:yeah haha awesome post thanks!

RCZ, I was wondering what you thought about my tuning options for certain things?? I am not much of a tuning guy or a track day beast so I don't really know much..
What do you think about HKS III Coilovers?
Also is the driveshaft rattle because of the light Aluminum flywheel..bad...(I'm a bit of a sissy and kinda want some comfort in my car
One last thing...Any lightening tips you can give for my Z??

The HKS are good coilovers. Definitely a good choice. But if you are saying you are kind of a sissy, those are not the coilovers for you since they come with relatively high spring rates. The only coilovers I would recommend for someone who likes to keep a comfortable ride are the KW V3's. I'm sorry if I keep sounding like a fanboy, but these things have more than proven their worth to me.

Driveshaft rattle? Are you talking about clutch shudder on engagement? Nah, it shouldnt be that bad.

Lightening? Sure, get rid of as much unsprung weight as you can (weight not supported by the suspension. e.g. Wheels and brake rotors). Then take as much weight as you can from the front of the car, preferably things that are higher up. Then take weight off the rear. The car has a natural front heavy bias, which you want to try and lessen if possible...however its much easier to quickly remove weight from the rear.

I'd give you more info, but you don't own the car yet and you seem to not be too sure of what you want. You say you are a sissy and want comfort, but you want coilovers and a lighter car? Those two things don't come without a cost that is immediately deducted from the comfort column.

I want to help, but you should probably have the car first before you worry about these things..

Keep givin it to em straight, RCZ! :tup:

Agree on weight comments... goal is to shift weight, not just lighten... get more weight towards the rear with battery relos etc... I pick up about 0.05 g's in left hand turns by putting a passenger in my car! :)

370zforever... what RCZ wanted to tell you but didn't because he's far too polite, is that you need to study the board a bit more... go to the technical section and sort the posts in descending order by views/posts... then read the ones with the highest volume... all your questions will be answered! have fun

RCZ, flywheel yet ?

^ haha Thanks

Not yet, I think I'm going to try to do the clutch and flywheel when the motor is out for the SC install. So it shouldn't be for a few months. Everything still working well with yours?

All is good... I definitely have been having a fuel starvation issue... we are discussing it over in my journal, think we have a quick fix

Flywheel is a great add - you'll be happy once you do it
