In short, I finally had my car aligned after I installed the Eibachs about a month ago (~1,300 miles ago). I had my car aligned by a Nissan dealership per the tire feathering TSB (i.e. free ) and the car felt completely different afterwards, more so than any of my previous cars felt from an alignment after suspension work.

So I'm wondering if my alignment under the tire feathering TSB is good to go since it felt extremely different afterwards.

Post-Alignment
LF: -1.8° camber, 8.8° caster, 0.03" toe
RF: -1.8° camber, 8.8° caster, 0.05" toe

LR: -2.0° camber, 0.04" toe
RR: -1.8° camber, 0.05" toe

 

Hmmm

The new alignment specs say a max of 0.04" up front, with nominal at 0.02". Also, the rear camber is adjustable, why didnt they even it out?

With eibachs, I got:
Front
Camber -1.1, -1.5
Caster 9.0, 8.9
Toe 0.01", 0.01"

Rear
Camber -2.5, -2.5
Toe, 0.02", 0.02"


Also, I would add some more negative camber if you want your rear to stay planted when cornering.

 

Yeah, I love me some negative camber for the track!

I expect a "conservative" alignment from a dealership without a doubt so it seems that you're curious as to my front toe specs?

I wouldn't be suprised if the dealership's TSB alignment specs are out of date.

Per my service advisor, the tech found aligning the Z "difficult". I wonder if he/they realized my car had been lowered with the Eibachs.

 

That wouldn't surprise me.

The eibachs are black. some dealers wont even notice they are there.

Johnny, I thought you were selling the Z?

 

J, I decided to keep the Z sometime in January so it's modding time

 

I wonder if my dealership had an out of date TSB alignment spec, or the tech confused the total toe max of 0.04" / 1mm as per wheel rather than per axle?

From what I gather, I believe my car was aligned to the original factory specs, rather than the "TSB spec".

I guess I'm more curious than anything since I personally attribute this feathering "issue" to the RE040s more than anything and I just wanted a free alignment
