I lowered my Z on Tanabe GF210s and my Camber/Toe/Alignment was way out of spec. Thanks to PTuning my Rear camber and toe is back to stock spec. My front toe is back to spec. The front camber is acceptable (Requires a pricey front camber kit to adjust camber). Here's a few pics.


Before pics of the camber being way out of wack.

During install and after the alignment.












Rear camber and toe are back to stock spec.



Final front toe was actually .04 for each (he was still adjusting the toe)

 

nice! this is probly a newb question but I take it you don't need to take the wheels off for the alignment? Also how low is the tanabe dropping you?

 

Nope, wheels need to stay on for a proper 4 wheel alignment. I'm dropped about 1" in the front and 1.2" in the back.

I highly recommend a rear camber/toe kit if you're anywhere near a 1 inch drop. Riding on stock camber arms and toe bolts will cause excessive tire wear. Last time I check a set of rear tires cost a lot more than a camber/toe kit.

 

PTUNING service is top notch! You should check out their crazy sound-proof dyno room.

 

may i ask how much did it the total cost come out to for springs, camber kit, alignment, etc...?

 

Looks good. Side note: the alignment computer says 18" wheels??

 

PTuning is running a special right now. SPC Rear Camber/Toe Kit, Rear Camber/Toe install, and 4 wheel alignment for $475 (Tax included). As far as I know, this is the highest quality alignment machine on the market. The install took about 2 1/2 hours start-to-finish. https://my350z.com/forum/mid-atlantic/264174-ptuning-350z-g35-4-wheel-alignment-w-spc-rear-camber-kit-special.html


To put things into perspective I just bought new rear tires from discount tire direct for $460 (mounting and balancing not included).

 

I may be wrong but the diameter of your wheel has nothing to do with your camber and toe adjustment. The width of your wheel and the lowering of your suspension is what effects camber/toe in the rear. Plus I think that is just the title of the file it was saved to (Notice the spelling of "Road Star").

 

Checked it out when I was there ... definitely state of the art

 

how is that machine attached to your wheels??? I need this done, but am afraid of scrathin my Volks.....

 

No scratches at all. The alignment laser sensors are attached to you tires, NOt your rims.

 

Great, thats what I thought but just wanted to make sure.
