They are set up with negative camber. This makes the car handle better. Eats up tires, but handles better. The last alignment check that I had done, the FL was -1.1, FR was -.7 and the rears were both -1.8. Front tolerance is .2 to -1.3, rear is -1.1 to -2.1. This is on an '05.

oh yea.. I knew they came with negative camber, I just forgot. But it seems noticable on a stock suspension that is why. I was wondering.. I have 05 as well.. very nice info. I haven't checked my alignment after I switch to new rims. I should get them done soon.

I'm having the same troubles.
The suspension is stock however I have nismo 19" wheels and nismo sways.
Today I had the alignment done and although the toe and caster were within spec my rear was -1.6 and both sides and my front L was -1.2 while the front R was -1.5
I'm not sure if these are worthy of me going out to spend $500-1000 on camber adjustability since tires themselves are already $1600 a set.

the bridgestones I'm running cost about $400 a piece installed, mounted, and balanced.
They're on the 19" nismo wheels and are 245/35/19 and 275/35/19.
Have you done the camber adjustment yet?
