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

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

It should be a good fit. Add some oversized tires and it will pop.

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.

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.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, my car won't be ready until tomorrow. Long story, but that's Guam for you. Hope they didn't mess anything up. The Nissan dealership has had since 1000. I'm just hoping it was a case of job priority mismanagement and not due to damage they're trying to cover up.
