I can see it now. Must have been work blocking it.
I can't seem to understand the difference in camber kit and camber bolts. Both seem to five +- 3 degrees adjustment :s

Zipper 104 will become famous soon enough
Default So....

I have installed my Swifts and SPL camber arms and would now like to get an alignment done.
Rather than starting a new thread asking what numbers I should be looking to have the alignment shop shoot for, are these Spec numbers what I ought to have them strive for?
Tire life and even wear are at the top of my list.
With the Swifts, are these the numbers you want?

Thanks.

These are the "idea" numbers according to Nissan.

You'd want to keep these measurements no matter what modifications you have done. Unless you want a different "feel" for track duty.

Quick question: I recently have new tires installed and alignment done. According to your chart, my front camber numbers are not within spec. Can you please take a look at my attached results and let me know if I need to realign?
Thank you.

not too bad, probably can go a little less on the toe-in but not bad. i'd keep it if u like how it rides.

Thanks for the reply. Would my current toe-in cause any uneven wear in the long run? Also, how would the ride change if the toe-in were less than it is now? I feel the ride with the new tires, Michelin Super Sport, became little stiffer/bouncier compared to the original Bridgestones.

it could cause some minor premature wear, but it's not that significant so you should be okay. if you can get more than 10-15K miles on summer tires on the rears, that is good and normal for our cars.

the PSS are known to be a tad stiffer, i suggest u run factory psi..
