Hows my alignment after Swift/SPC install?

just had the install done today. Lets say the drive to the alignment shop was 'interesting"! Felt like driving on a sheet of ice. Anyways, alignment guy said that this was the best he could do. My car is a DD, no track use. Thanks!!

Are you ready to get another one soon? Never do alignment till the springs have settled.

Fronts ok but will get worse. Rears bad, will get worse. Start getting arms now for when you go back.

I agree you should have settled your springs before alignment.
Where do you have the SPC front, rear or both.

For the rear with SPC that can be dialed to -1.4 to -1.6 rear camber. If DD

I had mine at -2.4 rear camber due to driving the Z hard on cornering.
Sacrificed some camber wear on the tire. But that is expected from this numbers but stable with sharp curves.

here is my alignment sheet after install. No time for "spring settling". Car was nearly undrivable. If it needs a better alignment i will look into it. I drove straight to the alignment shop because the car was handling so bad

Yeah you definitely needed the alignment.
I just remembered I had mine done same day as they installed my rear SPC and toe bolts. Mine was worst.

come on in Kenchan, would like your opinion:stirthepot:

So in general what is a good amount of camber in the front and rear (assuming little to no toe) for a daily driver that won't cause too much camber wear? -1.4 front and -1.6 rear decent?

Zoren 370 09-07-2014 04:34 AM

Yup that is within Nissan specs.
That is my current camber setting now from -2.4 in the rear.
You should be good for DD

If all you want is tire wear then you need zero toe front and rear and zero camber! If you want a car that actually handles nissans numbers is not a goal to shoot for.

i am going to go to a more performance orientated alignment shop in a few weeks for a realignment if needed. What changes should I ask for? I want to end up with a slightly aggressive setup, but in the end this car will be a one trick pony/DD
Looks like i might want a little less rear camber?:stirthepot:
