Thumbs up My alignment specs!

GF210 springs, no camber kit ( have one laying around, but thought i'd try without).

Front toe: 0.04 and 0.04
Rear toe: 0.06 and 0.05

Front Camber -1.6 and -1.8
Rear Camber -1.8 and -1.9

Not bad without a camber kit

How long did you wait between the install and alignment?

Would need to see a before and after spec sheet.

When I got my alignment done after the GF210s were installed my rear camber was -2.6. The camber/toe kit got me back to -1.6 (oem setting).

I would have to look that up.

I know that my camber was -2.6 left and i think -2.9 right side (rear of course).

I think they did a pretty good job with getting it back into spec.

Stock camber arms can only adjust +/- 0.5 degrees. I'm not sure they could possible adjust your cambers arms a full degree without using a aftermarket camber kit.

my stock rear camber arms can swing +/- 1.0 degree.

i am currently at -2.0 in the rear with a tockico d spec spring--was at -3.0 before adjustment.

i forget what my rear toe spread is, but i am able to run 0 toe in the rear with stock bolts. pretty sure i could adjust them to factory spec if i wanted.

track day tommorow, we'll see if i like it.

this will be the first day with the Z and set everything at a "baseline" and will start making changes.

not a big deal when you do your own alignments on a great machine

you're basing this comment off of what? Like any performance alignment setting - especially for track days, it is very much personal preference based solely on trial and error on that day. FWIW I run 0 toe on the rear of my car and have done enough track days to know what setting suit my car, in the conditons I've run in, and that match my driving style. It can, and very often will, be different for everyone
