350Evo has a set of rear adj. stabilizer arms just on the horizon. I should be receiving my set today, and will be putting them through 3 days of "consumer testing" (so-to-speak) at VIR.

John,
When you have some time, I'd love to check these out! Let me know how they work.

We'll arrange a time early next week for you to come over or something. I won't be back from VIR until very very late Sunday night.

Just got my alignment, here it is

Front Camber:
left -1.1 degrees, right -1.5 degrees, cross camber .4 degrees
Front Toe:
left .02 inch, right .04 inch, total toe .05 inch
~~~~~
Rear Camber
left -2.1 degrees, right -2.3 degrees, cross camber .1 degrees
Rear Toe
left .02 inch, right .03 inch, total toe .06inch
Thrust Angle -.01 degrees
~~~~~
Looks like my right/front camber is about .2 degrees off. My left/rear camber is about .1 degrees off & my right/rear camber is about .2 degrees off. I was able to get the tow in on all 4 wheels. Since I am so close, I don't think I will be installing any camber arms. I may get a little more tire wear if any, but this is not my daily driver (don't put that many miles on it) so I am not worried about it.

Looking forward to seeing what your numbers are kcobean.

This is good news. My car is at the dealership as I type this. I'll post numbers as soon as I have them. Thanks for sharing.

Can you post what the "in-spec" limits are?

I believe front camber is about -1.3 & rear camber is about -2.1

Well, the dealership was unable to get my car on their alignment rack, and the Ferrari dealerhsip couldn't fit me in to their schedule (I'm not surprised...They typically operate by appointment only). My Nissan SA told the Ferrari guys about my car, and they STRONGLY encouraged me to just buy the 350evo camber arms. I had to insist that I would pay the cost of an initial alignment to find out how close the stock suspension would get to spec, then if needed I would invest in the camber arms.

So, the car goes back on Monday for an alignment at the Ferrari dealership.

Guess I'll post my results on Monday....
