I finally got aligned today, and was not one of the lucky ones that didn't need a rear camber kit. Guess I know what's in my near future.

Camber Front Left: -1.5
Camber Front right: -1.8
Toe L/R: 0.0

Camber Rear Left: -2.9
Camber Rear Right: -2.4
Toe in L/R: .06
Total toe in: .12

I did a search on alignment specs, and didn't really find what I was looking for in regards to ideal toe settings. For a street car, I should be going for 0 toe up front and slight toe in on the rear correct? Like what I have now? Seeing as I'll be getting another alignment when I have my rear camber kit installed, I'll have another opportunity to fine tune the settings.

Toe looks good to me. I have been trying to work out toe settings for the past couple weeks. There's not much on here with specific numbers... I've been to the alignment shop 5 times in the past 3 weeks trying to dial her back in. I have had Swifts for 8 months, and recently put camber kits on along with 265/35 - 305/30 tires. She drove like sh!t after, and it was my toe settings. As it turns out I don't really need front A-arms. I have front camber at -2.0 which you can almost get with OEM. You probably want adjustable camber arms out back to get a little less - camber. Shoot for -1.75 to -2.0, it's most common.
...my 2 cents.

Should I be worried about Swifts and 19in wheels with 265/305 profile tires? offsets +20
+15

No.

Well got her dialed in today with the SPC rear camber kit. Final numbers are:

Camber Front Left: -1.5
Camber Front right: -1.9
Toe L/R: 0.0

Camber Rear Left: -1.9
Camber Rear Right: -1.8
Toe in L/R: .06
Total toe in: .12

I'm pleased with how it's driving now.

I'm going swift's and koni's and getting rear camber kit but my qu is do I need front adj upper A arm? Sounds like I don't. Not tracking the just autocross once in awhile.

Tribalpinoy91 · 05-22-2014, 08:02 AM

No you don't* need* them but you may want to purchase them for greater flexibility with adjustments on the track...you can answer that one yourself

kenchan · 05-22-2014, 02:02 PM

the only time i would consider front a-arm is if i need to dial in more camber or if my L/R camber is off by more than 0.2 degrees.

Any advice on what vendor would be best for Swift SPEC-R and Rear Camber kit for the best price. SPC rear camber kit is what Im looking for, daily driver no track.

NORAIN · 05-30-2014, 04:43 AM

Kamispeed, Zspeed, Concept Z, all about the same price. You might find one ships free...

Thanks man, yea I got a price quote for $490 dollars with swift spec r and spc rear camber kit shipped from an online vendor. It seems like a good price to me. Thanks again.

No problem, seems a little high though. The springs are usually around $315 and the rear camber kit $90ish. Did that include toe bolts? There about $30...
I'm pretty sure I got mine shipped free too.

I got mine installed about a week ago, the ride comfort is a lot better (base model).
Did give me a good drop, but now waiting on my camber kit to put on.

Ill purchase the koni shocks later by the end of the year.

Great upgrade for sure!!
