Alignment after Lowering Springs - Camber Help

[RedWinterZ]

Below is my alignment, I got busy and forgot to go for a long time ad ruined my Potenzas. Ordered some Michelins which will arrve soon at my mechanic's shop. In regards to the aligment below (and all I have is RSR 3/4" lowering springs and Z1 wheel spacers). The tire fit is perfect without being too low but I Fracked up those potenzas bad due to crap toe that wasn't adjusted (is now in pic below).

My question for the pros here are about my Camber, should I invest in Front and Rear Camber arms? or more such a FUCAs or the whole Z1 Adjustable suspension kit? (https://www.z1motorsports.com/arms/...nissan-adjustable-suspension-kit-p-56417.html)

In addition, and I read some very good suspension threads earlier if I bought the NISMO coil overs that full kit would be probably be necessary?

SORRY to ask anyone to repeat themselves!!!

That is actually better than mine with the same springs. My fronts have 2.1 left and 1.8 right. I would leave yours alone, 1.6 degrees is a very mild camber for street and won't hurt the tires with good toe setting. For the rears you could fix it easily with just camber/toe bolts: https://www.z1motorsports.com/compo...-rear-toe-camber-eccentric-bolts-p-58876.html

i dont know why this needs to be said again:

THERE IS NO FRONT CAMBER ADJUSTMENT ON THE Z.

Toe needs correcting, thats what kills tires the fastest. Its on the higher end of the recommended range



So many people messing with springs and spacers

throw them away
buy coilovers, adjustable arms, and wheels that fit, solve all your problems and have awesome fitment

Calm down. Neither the original poster nor I mentioned anything about front camber adjustment, in fact he was asking if he should do adjustable arms since there was no OEM adjustment.

As for the remainder of your statement, not everyone wants or is able to dump thousands of $s into their car, especially if they are just lightly modifying a daily driver. I am well beyond my autocross and open track days, been there, done that, have numerous t-shirts to go with the trophies. I appreciate the people that go crazy with their stuff, but also respect those that go frugal and just enjoy their ride.

i will never understand dropping $50k on a new sports car to not properly address the suspension

leave it stock or do it right

i mean the goal of buying springs and spacers is obviously that this poster wants better fitment

if you want better fitment, do the things you need to achieve the goal

its like wanting to be a great swordsman and only buying a foam sword and waving it around in the back yard

For street, or mostly street, that's about right, you're good! I posted earlier on other threads what I was able to get with just slightly lowered Swifts. You don't need anything else, no adjustable camber arms needed. Enjoy your drives.

Went diving into suspension threads and picked a lot up. The only thing on my alignment was that camber being so off. Since the front isn't adjustable the rear could at least get that Rear Chamber bolt set for more adjustability with the stock arm. Guess the fronts just stay at 1.6

Please tell me the money I’ve spent over the last 6 years on Backyard Nerf Swordsman lessons wasn’t wasted?!?! My teacher told me I’m only about 2 years, or 100 lessons from graduating to a real wooden sword.

the front doesnt look bad tbh, your rears however, i'd aim for 1 degree for longevity

as option said

defs look into reputable adjustable toe and camber arms. bring the front to zero toe and rears 1mm in

EDIT, toe looks good too

camber looks great - front and rear. Unless you are looking for more camber up front (-2 deg.) for track setup, i would leave that as-is camber wise. i would not change it just to save a few miles on the tires. How many miles do you put on the Z per year? I assume that you are not driving the Z in the winter - that what the chevy is for?

He's gonna cook his inner tire wear real quick at 2 degrees

what do you call quick?

He is still within ~stock specifications - just at the limits.

of course the inside tread will wear a little faster - but its a high performance sports car and tires are expensive…depending on milage and application - his setup is reasonable for tire wear.

i would would take that setup for the street all day every day - but my priority is not tire wear..

and this is where my mind is a little as well. Keeping the car for the long haul. Getting new arms from front and back to allow more adjustability seems like the move. The harder move is nutting up to afford coilovers to go along with them.

I'll be doing bout 15k a year on the car. It's offically my daily driver other than Dec thru Feb where I'll have the truck.
