Installed SPC rear camber kit after installing swift and got an alignment!

khsysh · 12-25-2013, 08:57 PM

As you guys said before, I installed only SPC rear camber kit since I don't track the Z. However, I don't think the rear camber is in stock spec. Please let me know if somethings wrong.

And on the right side of picture, it says 'can't adjust camber it will mess up toe.'

Thanks!

So, I saw something on the thread below. "Shoot for 0 toe all the way around and -1.5 for rear camber." Is this what I should tell them?

0 toe in the rear, I hope you have the VDC on, else we will see an accident soon

Did you not get a set of Toe Bolts as well? That is probably your problem.

synolimit · 12-25-2013, 11:30 PM

I vote traction arms and toe/camber lockout kit.

I bought 2 set of spc rear camber kit from Z1. http://www.z1motorsports.com/g37_370...oducts_id=7207
Doesnt toe bolts comes with it? Do I have to buy it separately? Thanks for the response guys. I just need help

I usually DD my Z and often enjoy spirit driving. Is it bad to have 0 toe??

khsysh · 12-26-2013, 01:42 AM

And again, thanks for your inputs guys.

It should have included tow bolt as well, If you read the link it states adjust camber and tow.

When you are in a turn and you lift the throttle suddenly, the more toe out you have, the more likely your car will snap and spin the car. Big no no in a RWD car unless you absolutely know what you are doing

If you have the toe bolts installed as well as the camber arms, the alignment tech should have no problem getting you squared away. I'd get a 2nd opinion.

khsysh · 12-26-2013, 02:03 PM

Thanks for the reply guys.
Then whats wrong with my Z.

Auto shop wouldnt make mistake while installing camber arms right? Because I was right next to it while they are installing and seems it had easy installation process. Then maybe an alignment tech's problem? Hmmmm

equalme · 12-30-2013, 06:46 PM

Maybe the tech didn't know that the spc arm is adjustable and is just adjusting it from the bolt.

I've had shops not fully seat the rear springs in the boot of my coil-over install, and installed the front sway bar upside down. When I was standing right next to them...

Things happen, humans make errors. That's why it's good to get a 2nd opinion.

Try taking it to a different alignment place, not like a Discount Tire or anything, but a reputable shop close by.

I'm not sure where they're located, but you could look into Baker Tuning. I know they do a lot of performance builds, you could ask them who they recommend for alignment issues.

Run the same set up as you do. Your specs are fine! Everyone believes in different settings because it works for their driving skills. Hammer the car, beat her up see what works for you, change air pressure then talk it over with your alignment tech if they are worth a damn they can help you dial in your car.
