Default Alignment Specs Recommendation

Hi Everyone,

I bought a 350z with true single piece Buddy Club coilovers front and rear and adjustable links replacing the spring cup. All components have 0 miles on them.

I will be running a 17x9.5 wheel and the car will spend 100% of its time on the track (or driving to the track)

Any recommendation on alignments specs? (Toe, camber, etc.)

I have a feeling I know what car you have, I almost bought it.

Start with -3 front camber , 0 toe

Rear -2 and OEM toe setting

Great, thanks!

In regards to front and rear toe, should I adjust to toe out on tight tracks/auto-x events or are these cars typically prone to oversteer when toe is outside of OEM specs?

These cars are almost never prone to oversteer.

Rear will always be toe in. Front can go toe out, but kiss the tires goodbye quickly if you drive to the track.

Silver car, missing a good and an odd color pillar cover ?

Cool, I will take your recommendation to run 0 toe up front and factory spec rear.

I actually have a toe hitch for the 350z on the way and a tire trailer to drive out my track wheels.

haha yeah that is the one! A lot more work than I expected, but should be on the track by January.
