Why didnt you have them adjust the caster on the l/f to match its too low anyway. You said you have spl upper arms correct?

they did the best they can, if they adjust the caster any further, the camber goes out of spec

I would stick with that shop for alignments. They obviously have a better alignment tech there who has his crap together.

Absolutely, the issue finding a good local performance shop. There is alot of good shops but as soon as you start getting into performance (especially for a car like the 370z) they start scratching their heads
