Rear Camber looks Off...
 
Looking at my rear tires from behind on the ground it looks like they lean in at the top, its enough for me to visually notice, and i worry its gonna wear the tires out before it should. Do all the nismos do this? My car just hit 1000 miles...

Nismos come from the factory with a rear camber setting of -1.58 deg. That's a healthy serving of rear camber so yes what you are seeing is probably normal. However if you think yours more than this take it in for an alignment and see.

yes the 1.6 degrees is very noticable!!!

Have to ask - what is the Nismo front camber seting from the factory?

yea i had the same thing... thats why i went with the SPC camber kit... helped out alot in the front and the rear. Think Im running about -.7 up front and -1.8 in the rears. Couldnt get it directly in spec bc it threw off the toe so this was the happy medium

i thought there wasnt a "good" front camber kit out there yet....?.....

i read some of that too but I spoke to SPC about it and they assured me it would work and I have to say the install was straight forward... I paid someone to do it but was helping during the install... Got my alignment into spec and no weird noises or bottoming out and no problems since so... I would rate it as good with my experience so far... prolly have somewhere around 700 miles on it since i installed

ok cool. thx Johnny

-1.6 in the rear is a good number for handling purposes, I think the extra camber comes from the Nismo being a fraction lower than the stock car.
