Here are my alignment specs...

2010 G37S

*Numbers are in degrees

Left front camber:-0.2
Right front camber:-0.2
Left front caster:4.3
Right front caster:4.2
Left front toe:0.06
Right front toe:0.07

Total toe:0.12
Steer ahead: -0.01

Left rear camber:-1.1
Right rear camber:-1.3
Left rear toe:0.11
Right rear toe:0.09

Total toe:0.20
Thrust angle:0.01

My question is: these numbers are different from the ones published in 2008. Is that ok? For the novice shouldn't left and right camber be same?

Appreciate some feedback?

Thanks!

your rear is good, but the toe can come down a bit. but still your're ok.
as for the camber being even. its close enough.


Front could use some more negative camber, more like -1.0 or so would be good.
Toe is in good shape.
Im guessing this is oem specs? there not adjusted yet.Oem specs are set for oem specs and can always be improved.

Your alignment specs will change as soon as you sit in the car. It will change depending on the fuel level in your gas tank. Don't sweat it.

If you're truely ****, you'll sit in the car while getting it cornerbalanced first (height adjustable suspension required) and then get a real alignment (camber arms required).

You'll be fine unless you're being paid to race your car

I originally brought car in due to tramlining and funny thing is front right was a bit off and they adjusted it but going over the same roads not much improvement so it must be the low profile tires and the tire itself.

Btw how would the driving dynamics of the car change if front camber left and right was adjusted to -0.1 instead of -0.2?

It would change less than if you swapped tire brands...

Your G has more change in camber when you load up a passenger in the front.

V12 EVO's are decently sticky tires; they'll tramline, although not as much as the stock sport tires (RE050A)

When I do search most say Yoko, Hankooks or Michelin.

What do you recommend for tires? I really don't push car hard or race. Just a daily driver who flexes his muscle once in awhile.

Do you ever have traction issues? If not, downgrade a step. If you still don't have traction issues, then downgrade again.

Just keep in mind, the "factory" handling and braking numbers are with the "factory" tires, and the factory tires are pretty sticky.
