performance MT with Nismo coilovers, Z1 front and rear sway bars, Z1 front and rear sway end links, Z1 spacers. after 2 weeks driving around for the component to settle, then got alignment done. the alignment guy said there's nothing for him to adjust the camber or caster and only the toe in front. i didn't ask about the rear adjustment. can someone tell me if -1.6 negative camber on the front left would cause the car to have side movements when driven fast over uneven part of the freeway?

do i need to purchase additional aftermarket parts to help the alignment shop to align my car to factory recommended settings?

Everything looks good, you could probably take out some more rear camber to help with rear traction and help to extend rear tire life. Camber wont cause a car to pull unless its an extreme mismatch side to side, 0.3 is no big deal. Usually a big caster or toe difference will cause a car to pull or feel unstable, or unequal tire pressures. Worse case is something was left loose.

My specs are very similar and my car is dead stable at any speed, feels great..

Thanks for the comparison info! in this case i probably will take the car back to the alignment shop for them to recheck and maybe re-aligned in a month or so since i have 3 months or 12K miles warranty. in the mean time hopefully either i will get used to the the car's current behavior on uneven surfaces or find other things to dig around.
