Yeah, back at school during this crappy economy finishing up my business degree at CSUF. The parking is a nightmare!

I double checked the spring rates. It looks like I have the 12/10 setup.

Some updated pics with the rear fenders rolled with battleversion camber and toe arms. The rear is now dropped and the alignment is complete. -4 camber up front and -3.5 camber rear. We didn't corner balance the car since i'm still going to make more changes in the coming months, but surprisingly the car was pretty well balanced via cross weights.

Alex Pfeiffer the drifter of the old RSR s2k dialed in the suspension and did an awesome job. I could tell he knew his way around the car and dialed the suspension in really fast.

Up next: Adding the ARC Differential cooler, adding crash bars and more dimple plating to the cage, and a full custom paint job inside out. The custom paint job is going to be the unique part of the story so stay tuned!

Never heard of any Z running that much camber, Grand-am, Koni challenge or otherwise. I take it Alex was doing what he felt was best for drifting event's, correct.

The camber will be pulled and the ride height will be raised in the future once the car hits track events again. Right now, the camber settings are just for clearing the fenders with the amount of drop it currently has. The car is going to get a lead based custom paint job inside out so looks is the priority at the moment for marketing purposes.

However, the 350evo race cars used to run plenty of camber when they used to race their Z's. Also, drifters a lot of times run 0 camber. Just FYI.
