Fairly close, don't think you'll ever be able to get it perfect without camber arms.

Yup, but you probably need rear camber kit with toe bolt. Fronts are not a problem to get in spec. Current tire wear will be a factor on getting it in spec. No upper control arms needed for fronts.

It's hit or miss. Some people barely get in spec some just out of it.

My fronts made it is as far in as -1.6 (-1.2 spec I believe) and my rears made it to -2.8 (-1.7 spec I believe) with the Swifts. I left the fronts as is because turn in is enhanced and handling is a lot better. The rears were too much for the 305's so I added the rear camber arms and toe bolts to maximize tire life.

Finally got the springs installed today. Overall, I'm very pleased with the ride and drop. Wish I had some nice aftermarket wheels.

Looks good Angelo! Good to see you here as we used to talk in the Nismo wheels thread at my350z.com I had the yellow 350z but wrecked in the rain and traded it in on a brilliant silver 370z and couldn't be happier.

^^ Thanks Gator, and yeah I remember. I remember when you first got the LMGT4s on your 35th AE. Sorry to hear about the 350Z, at least you moved up to better things .

Yep, I only had the 350z for a year and a half I hydroplaned and did around 3 circles in the rain and then slammed into a huge bush and then a tree. It was so close to being totalled but they decided to fix it and I chose a horrible bodyshop lol After returning it there 5 times I just decided to trade it in on a 370z and everything's been much better since Yeah, the LMGT4's were still on it when I traded it in so someone is probably happy with the 350.
