Camber much?
 

Well I lowered the Z a Lil bit more last night and got her realigned first thin this morning. I was hoping the camber wouldn't be that bad. It ended up being 2.2 left 2.3 right fronts and 2.9 left 2.8 right rears. I do have camber kits for the rears but not the front. They said I would have to sacrifice the camber to get a good toe. Made sense. They said I should look into buys a toe kit so they could adjust it more so I could get a better toe/camber. It was a better plan in getting the best toe setting possible because it would wear the tires faster than having bad camber. I guess I'll be looking into getting those.

Anyways here's some pics! My blah blah blah would be more interesting with pictures lol!

Looking good.

After I installed my coilovers my front camber was -5.0 (was -3.0 before the drop) and -3.5 in the rear. I adjusted it back to -3.0 front and -2.0 rear which seems to be my optimal track setup.

Because of the multi-link suspension setup in the rear camber and toe are somewhat intertwined. You definitely want to make sure toe is within spec as that will kill tires quicker than anything.

The Z looks great dude!!

What camber kit did you buy for the rear? The SPC/Eibach kits come with a camber arm AND toe bolts for extra adjustability.

While your car looks awesome, but unfortunately if you leave it the way you have it you'll chew through those tires pretty quick..

I have the ichiba kit. Hopefully they'll last for awhile lol!

How often do you run through tires with that setup? Is your car just for track or you drive it daily also? Just wanna know how long my tires will last this way. Thanks!

Your car looks great. I love the wheels and the stance.

I drive it daily except for the Winter, but my trip to work is very short. The RE-11's were my primary auto-x tires and saw some track duty as well (have track tires also). For me they last about 6000 miles but I beat the heck out of them at auto-x, wear is pretty even across the tread but only because of the aggressive driving. Driven a little more conservatively they will easily last twice that, potentially more.

Chris sounds about right.. I was getting ~10k with a similar camber.. once realigned I'm pushing 25k and plenty to go..

Nice!

Thanks guys! I don't track my car, but I drive aggressive. Not so much speed but in turns and curves. I'm hoping my tires will last awhile.

They won't. You can order the Eibach toe bolts separately.

I have about 8k now. I have to almost place my back tires. Hopefully a camber kit can solve the issue.

Z is looking good!+1

but that last sentence made me lol:icon18:

my 300zx TT was running some good camber but I always regretted it come time to replace the rubbers!

I'm fairly certain "hellaflush" was created by the tire companies.. since the drifting phenomenon is going away.. LOL!

(kinda kidding.. ;))
