I got mine done at Simone Performance, they have a really nice one. They also specialize in Nissan and Infinity cars.

I would take the 19s off though just to be safe. They are careful but it is still a metal lip.

The printout they gave me

I'll second Simone Performance - not only are they good, they also run a 200SX SE-R on the track so they understand what a performance alignment should be. It's a nice drive to Newmarket.

Weird, IV heard there was a blue vert around but I’ve not seen it. Lots of silver and black yep

Mine is my summer DD but I’ve only had it since May so..

I am at Yonge and Davis, not far from you, how could we have not bumped into eachother

I did see a blue on parked at the 404 plaza, prob you. Do you have a scratch and dent on your passenger side quarter panel. I circled that one.

This happened on another Z that I know of. I'm not going to badmouth im yet. Maybe he doesnt have the latest alignment settings for Z.

^Yes, but not to the range where you can fix the camber if lowered. It's only an eccentric bolt adjusting the camber for rear, same for front, so not much range to play with.

You have to remember guys, a lowered Z only has so much rear camber and toe adjustment, and has zero front camber adjustment.

That being said there is only so much an alignment shop can do with a slammed stock 350 or G!

However we've found you can go down a good inch and a half from stock and still run very close to O.E. settings, however a bit more than stock camber in the front. But thats ok, because you need a bit of camber to allow the car to corner well.

Dont forget tire pressure plays a huge roll in tire wear as well!

If you're ever in the brampton area I hear theres a shop called SG that has done some alignments, not sure though.

And Vic does great work! We've raced with him for a few years! Im sure the problems with those one or two cars were based on running out of adjustment range with the factory arms

I've got to speak up again for Simone Performance Parts. Vic and Steve do a great job and I know several people who make an hour plus drive to get an alignment there. Great laser equipment. Remembers your specific alignment requests from the past. They can set you up with an OEM alignment or a custom one.

And I've had some tuning and dyno work at SG - another amazing Nissan shop and a great guy. We're lucky to have them both. It's too bad you weren't closer to the K-W area - I'd pop in more often!
