That guy did nothing.

You need at the least rear camber arms, and toe bolts in order to get the alignment close.
well he did something cuz the car doesn't feel right. As far as camber arms & toe bolts....talked with many including reputable vendor/mod shops here on the boards who all said neither of those are necessary with the mild Eibach drop.

That seems way out of spec, i'm looking at the sedan's FSM right now and the range should be 0.00 to 0.08 for the fronts.

Toe should be .04 per side, green should be .00 to .08

Something is wrong.

based on the other thread I've been reading it seems to me these toe angles are my problem...I kinda like a little neg camber so probably not going to change that.

Are the stock toe bolts likely too short to bring it back in spec because of the drop and do I need different ones?

need help, track day in 2 weeks!

my current toe settings are below:
LF .14 - RF .15
LR .21 - RR .22


Knowing that this is incorrect, what do I need to purchase/do to correct it and get toe back into factory spec, which I'm told is between .00-.08?

Need some help here pretty quickly so I can purchase and install before my track day....thanks in advance!

that's what I'm wondering, do I need a different toe bolt....do I need an alignment kit.... These measurements are post-alignment at a precision alignment shop and I don't want to go to another shop only to have them tell me I need parts.... uggh

Alignment is only 90 bux, either bring your car to infiniti and have them do it or go to another alignment shop, tell them your car doesnt feel right and your toe is off. You should almost be able to look at your rear wheels and see if your toe is a little off. After they do an alignment, make sure to do a test drive before you leave. Also are you sure they are the springs for the g37 and not the eibach springs for the 350z??? big difference in drop. If that doesnt work see if they can get you a spc rear camber kit and install.
