Yeah, should be awesome once you get them on. I'm planning on getting a set too one day, but I need some more money in my mod budget first

I hope that means the same for Corner3 and others!

fyi shipment arriving tomorrow means it arrives swift, they're shipping out directly all the order since the waits been so long, but it also means if they arrive tomorrow it'll take them 1-2 days to process everything and then a few days for shipping to get them to you... so for most I'd say you'll atleast have tracking numbers tomorrow

So happy I can cry.

Finally got my alignment today, been at least a month with the springs on. I was able to get everything back into OEM specs:

LF:
Camber = -1.2
Caster = 5.2
Toe = .11

RF
Camber = -1.0
Caster = 5.2
Toe = 0.09

LR
Camber = -2.0
Toe = .14

RR
Camber = -2.0
Toe = .15

Didn't get the before specs, but am very happy.

^ Thats all that matters "very happy". I think that is the key to a good alignment which is to place some miles on the springs before an alignment. Mine were off a bit from one alignment to the next.

And you did this with out any control arms nor rear camber kit w/toe bolt?

speedworks · 06-16-2011, 06:56 PM

Needed nothing but springs.

ZForce · 06-17-2011, 12:07 AM

There you have it folks....if you want to retain OEM specs...then NO Control Arms nor Rear Camber Kit w/toe bolt are required.

If you are looking for more adjustability, then I would suggest first go with a Rear Camber Kit w/toe bolt and see how you like the handeling then go from there. It's your choice and depends on what you are looking for.

Thanks speedworks

I have to put a rear camber kit on mine to get back into spec. I'm doing that this weekend and will post my before/after figures.

From what I can tell, toe bolts are not required with these springs.

ZForce · 06-17-2011, 10:47 AM

Well drats....I thought we finally had a tried and true response for you guys on the neccessity of kits or not.

I had to install the toe bolt to get my back into spec. With the added toe bolt, now it gives me more adjustability. So go figure, back to square one. I cannot believe all cars are off spec that much after installing the springs. Current tire wear might contribute to the varied alignments we have seen.

Perhaps- I was aligned on stock tires. I put on some 305's this week and will be aligned with them next. It'll be interesting to see what the specs look like before/after.

camposturtle · 06-17-2011, 05:53 PM

I have a question about tire size and alignment....
My car came with the 18" rims and tires(225/50-18 and 245/45-18) now I have 19" rims with 245/40-19 and 285/35-19 which is the same size as the 370 Nismo; I take my car to NTB to do the alignment, when NTB does the alignment they do it according to the tire size, so which tire size should I do the alignment under the 18" or the 19" ?
Sorry if it is a stupid question but I'm new at this.
Thanks.
