Default Z1 caster front upper arms

Nice man. Howre your arms going on the 370z. Can i ask how much more the side of the control arm closer to the rear of the car is dialed in vs the other side to achieve the positive 8 degree caster?
Thanks man appeciate it. Seems to be a difficult question to get answer to

When I went in for an allignment it was quite a headache but it still went okay. Had to call Jon at Z1 to give me and the allignment guy a little bit of help. To adjust camber we had to lift the front end up enough to get the joint off and extend/contract it. Caster can only be adjusted by removing the control arm and manually adjusting it. Luckily enough I actually somehow got the caster at my desired spot of 8.0 degrees. The camber was a bit fiddly but still got it to -3.0.

But the overall nice thing about them is that from there camber and caster are pretty much set until you adjust it down the road. I can rip them all I want on the track yet it will stay at exactly my specifications.

I have one track day on them already and I have no issues and they are solid. I have another one coming up on the 23rd and I could update everyone accordingly
