No tools yet, she's still deciding between hardwoods in the living room or a crap load of tools. The stuff they were using is borrowed.

Not sure what they set the camber to. Are the front and rears adjustable or do I need that camber kit?

not sure about the Nismo's. I hinstalled front and read camber adjusters. Adam (Z1) suggested -2.0 f/r and it handled great and no noticeable increased wear.

Judging by the pics, what do you think it's at camber-wise?

Doesn't look too far off from -2 IMO

oh and honestly, I would get the tools.

with the dogs running in and out it is easier to just vacuum the carpet when they get it dirty than have to clean the hard work floors daily.

Im getting ready to kennel my dogs for a month so I can finish the back yard and I am going to have the housekeeper come in for like 8 hours one day just to clean the floors and walls...damn dogs lol

Just went for a drive. Tried to burn off the mold release with a launch on a backroad. Even with that and it being cold here they have a lot more grip than the stock tires.

Took the wife for a spin today...

Did a right turn and accelerated, no loss of grip...

She turned to me and said "is that good?"

I was going to offer a comment about friction, but wondering if we are now "off topic?"
