Is my alignment specs ok with my eibachs?

I just had my alignment done by firestone for my fully settled Eibach Pro-kit. He said that the fronts are back in spec, but i have a little negative camber on the back. Also he used the 06-07 G35 Coupe as my base. Do you guys think that i would need a rear camber kit or toe bolt?

Looks good to me, upper end of rear toe is 0.11 so it's close.

Don't need camber kit with just Eibachs Neil, you're good to go.

Next time go to West End Alignment in Garden Grove, they can get you even close to spec, they guy does legendary work!

I can't go to other shops anymore coz i bought the lifetime alignment from firestone. I'll just go to a different location and maybe they will get it back close to spec. Thanks for the input though.

I think it's good enough for now, wait a few months and go back if you see any inside wear..

I noticed something similar at first (only on ramps or driving slow) but seemed to go away. No idea....

I might have to bring it back to Amp'd to get it checked out since they installed it.

You think i don't need a rear camber kit on my specs?

the camber looks ok, although I'd watch it for inner tire wear. The toe looks to be within spec still though so you should be fine

My rear camber is -2.5 and -2.1. Noticeable visually. Looks good but guna eat the tires and there isn't an awd camber kit yet. If you want the spc kit let me know

I got the lifetime alignment from firestone, so i guess i'll be going there like once a month to watch for inner tire wear. I'll definately hit you up if i decided to get a camber kit. Thanks.
