Need your feedback on alignment...
 

Can those in the know give me your opinion on my alignment specs. Car is on Swifts and has SPC front and back.

Left Front: Right Front:
Camber -0.6 -0.5
Caster 5.5 5.4
Toe .11 .10


Left Rear Right Rear
Camber -1.5 -1.5
Toe .16 .15



Thanks

How do you drive the car? It is set up fine for DD but..

I'd give it more negative camber in the front for sure and even a little more in the rear depending on what you do with the car.

Caster is fine

Less toe-in all around

Agreed with Mandingo. I'd leave the toe in the front with more camber. I personally like camber on the higher end of spec for daily so -1.2 to -1.4 in front. Rears are ok. Id get rid of the toe though. My personal setup is -2.6 in front with .1 toe in up front and -2.0 in the rear with almost no toe.

So overall as a DD just reduce the toe?

Thanks for your feedback!

For DD the camber is fine. But get the toe zeroed out front and rear.

For a little more spirited driving put the front camber at -1. To think of it I'd run the front camber to -1 anyways.

I'm surprised they went so low on front camber. Any before and afters? After I do swifts I'm wondering what I have to work with. Are those stock settings?

Front camber is not adjustable with the stock components. To adjust front camber you have get after market front upper control arms.

Thanks for the tips guys :tiphat:

I will ask the shop to zero my toe front and rear and give me -1.0 front camber

I know this. ;)

If I'm shooting for -2.5 and hit it than I don't need to buy anything :tup:. Rear I know I need to buy since I'm above where I wanna be before I even lower.

Depends on what you are doing
I would leave the Rear toe settings alone and if anything remove it from the front.

OP do you have a before and after alignment?

Leave the rear toe, even considering the amount of dynamic toe we have? 0.01 Toe seems perfect for the rear of a 370Z [that squats any amount].

I'm lost. You say leave the rear toe but then say 0.01 is perfect. Pretty big gap there of .16-.15 to 0.01.

It is a question for Dwnshift. Hence the ?
He says to leave it. I think 0.01 is better, but he may know more.

Ok I may be looking at this wrong.
:)
But I suggest 1.5 to 2 mm of toe in per side on the rear.

Ok now I'm even more confused. Can you say that again in terms of how toe is measured in degrees and not length?

Converting from mm to degrees:

1)275/35R19
2)MATH
3)???
4)1.5 to 2 mm is 0.13 to 0.17 degrees in toe.

After Swift drop and before SPC adjustable arms my front was:

Left Camber -1.5
Right Camber -1.6
Caster Left 5.3
Caster Right 5.4
Toe Left .14
Toe Right .14

Rear had only toe bolts before adjustable arm purchase:

Left Camber -1.9
Right Camber -1.8
Toe Left .22
Toe Right .23

The Car actually handled much better (before) than with the current alignment specs after the SPC adjustable arms.

This is why I am going back to get at least -1.0 Camber in the front and bring the toe in to .04 based on some feedback.
Rear I am OK with the -1.5 camber (street use only).

Yeah I don't doubt that! Not even -1 up fronts going to handle pretty different. The befores look much nicer. I'd still prefer 0.5 to 1 difference between front and rear so after I lower maybe ill keep -1.5 and get just rear arms and install my lock out bolts to achieve -1 rear. I'd start with zero toe all around and see if I like it. I always thought rears were zero toe and front was like 1/8" in. But I'm sure different cars, different numbers.

What toe bolts are you talking about?
