Hi all

Currently trying to decide baseline camber and toe settings front and rear for agressive street/ road duties in my 06 Touring.

By way of background, My Subaru WRX dual duty track/ street car has successfully ran 2.2F and 1.8 R with zero toe all around for years with nice even tire wear across all 4 tire faces. Given this is my "alignment sweet spot" in an all wheel drive WRX running same offset wheel/ tire size on each corner, I'm not convinced these alignment figures will translate to my 350z.

For those in the know, how does a 350z baseline alignment running 1.8 deg neg all around with 1mm toe in sound?

Car as I've said is a 06 Touring and will run 19x9+22, 19x10+22 with 245/40 285/35 riding on Swift Spec R 1.2"& 1" drop respectively with Bilstein R8 dampers.

 

Aggressive street , your prior specs from your other car will work as a great starting point. Your tire selection on the other hand , I highly suggest looking at 265/35 for a front, at minimum a 255/35 front to go with the 285 rear.

 

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it.

 

Please post your impressions.

 

Will do

Also, can anyone explain why the factory static front camber settings are so weak?

Minimum. -1.33
Normal. -0.58
Maximum. 0.17

Have the Nissan engineers designed the front end to dramatically increase dynamic negative camber? If this is the case I'd definitely like to know as it would be a huge win win for straight line stability and mid corner mechanical grip.

 

I believe you answered your own question.

Don't quote me on that...
