I used the DIY for installing Swift springs. I marked the top hats on both. The Nissan tech said the amount the strut is off is minuscule. I want to bring the camber in on the front and back to a happy medium between performance and tire wear with a slight edge toward performance. But I can also correct the caster with the new control arms. I would have rather spent the money on an OEM rear spoiler but I don't want to be buying new tires every 20K miles. I'm thinking camber settings of -1.5/-2.0 and correct the caster to 5.2.
