How would you know your factory camber? Who aligns a new car? Most people do a before and after but the before already has the lowering springs on so that doesn't count. There's no way with OEM everything your front was that low, you'd be out if spec per nissan. Spec is -1.4 to +0.1.

Every car is different. Spec is -2.2 to -1.2 rear but it will always be more rear from nissan which is retarded, like a 285 on a 10.5.

Any book in the world. Ask one people on this forum if they think rear camber should be more than the front. You almost ALWAYS want -1 more in the front. For the track I plan on -3 front and -1.8 rear. For a good handling street car would be -2.5 to -2.0 front -1.5 rear.


i had to get new tires shortly after purchase so i had it alighned for sh1ts and giggles.

and i never said anything about my front camber settings. i was strictly talking about the rear


OEM i was within spec. (id hope so!)

after a 1" drop im at front: -1.7 rear: -2 (no camber kit used)

a 285 on a 10.5" rim isnt retarded......
