An update:

After installing the swifts springs, alignment was done at West End and it came back -1.75 FR and -2.5R. Decided to install the SPC rear kit and got it realigned at Hiro's Auto in Costa Mesa. Front was -1.3 with no kit and rear was -1.1. So I will hold off on the front kit.

Carbon Signal fenders should be on hopefully by end of March. Should look nice with the carbon fiber inserts.

Placed an order at Amplified for 20" SSR MS1 with flat black face and a 5" rear step lip.
Should be here late May/early June.

Finally I ordered custom plates that read "S1CK Z34". Should arrive 2 to 3 months.

Why is there more negative camber in the front than the rear? If your happy with the 1.3 up front I would of least went with 1.5 or 1.8 in the rear.

370Z JT · 02-25-2011, 09:35 PM

^ dunno. Tech came back and said this is what I got. I would have liked -1.6 for the rear as well.

Looks great, I want to see some white accents in the carbon fiber.... maybe the corners in PW... just so when you look through the slit and see white itd be better, IMO to see some what just my .02$ but car looks amazing beautiful!

Since you have a rear alignment kit, you should be able to get what you want. More negative camber in the rear will give you better turn in.

For the sake of tires alone....I prefer less camber. Although -0.6 f / -1.6 r is stock I believe and looks the best.

Im at -1.4 f / -1.2 r right now so very similar setup to OP. Im just waiting for a decent front camber kit to be released someday.

Also, the main thing I don't like about having less rear camber is that it sucks in the bottom of the tires and makes the car have a slightly narrower track. Porsche 911 camber settings look best to me. :-) I think having fairly straight camber in either the front or rear helps the car track straight as well. I was fighting to steer the car straight when I had -1.4 f / -1.8 r

I could understand completly for tire sake if your for that. I currently have my specs setup (or a little more) to that of what your saying you were "fighting" to steer straight but I don't have that issue at all. But one car is never the same as the other, nor setups.
