I just had a first alignment after installing swift springs.

Hi guys,

As title says, I just had a first alignment after installing swift springs.

Before alignment I drove about 700 miles, and about two weeks to settle.

I think my camber values are off from the factory setting.

What do you guys think? It's my first time installing springs so no idea

about the values. Z is my DD. I don't track or race.

If they are off, should I give more time and re-align it? I purchased

1 year alignment program from NTB so getting an alignment won't be a

problem.

Or do I need camber kit?

Thanks, please let me know what you guys think.

It's pretty much expected that you'll need camber arms and possibly toe bolts with Swifts.

The rear needs help on camber.

Thanks for the input guys. I was asking cause some didnt need any kits. Will it be different if I re align it later??

Nothing's going to change that magically makes it be able to be aligned later. Go get the parts you need before you kill a set of tires.

So, I searched little bit and decide to get a SPC kit. SPC Rear Camber Arm (370Z / G37)

that include toe bolts and camber kit, and need two for rear correct?

Do I need on front also?

Fronts not enough and rears to much camber! But you don't track so I'd leave the front alone (although for me I'd want caster and camber equal=SPL arms). The rear take it down to maybe -1.0 to -1.5. Your SPC kit should do the trick. Also unless you got an alignment before the swifts, you'll have no idea if anything was off before you got this one done. Once you installed the springs, any knowledge of OEM went out the window. Front and rear toe are good. Max is 0.125" for both.

So, it should be okay with just rear camber kit that I found! Thanks!

You're not tracking the Z. So yea, you should be ok.
