Car: 2011 G37 sport Sedan lowered on prokit with 20" stance wheels, 20x9 f 20x10.5r 245/35f 275/30r
My front specs are:
ACTUAL: -1.3
Should be: -1.1 to .04

Rear
ACTUAL: -2.0
Should be: -1.4 .04

Rear I know I need a camber kit, is the front ok or should I play it safe and align the car into exact recommended specs? Lowered on ProKit

 

Toe is the most critical as far as tire health goes. Do you have your toe readings? If your toe is in spec F&R then just a pair of rear camber arms is all you'll need, you can even get by w/ camber at -2 if you rotate your tires more often, but would be best to get it about like your front -1.3.

 

this. Toe is vital and minor camber will actually aid in handling. I ran the ProKit for a while with just the rear arms and was fine. I'm a little lower on KWv3 coils and still haven't needed the front arms but each car and alignment shop is a little different.

 

I got -1.8 camber all around on my WRX and do not have uneven tire wear problem. Toe is much more critical.

 

Don't need it. I am about -2 in the rear and 1.7 in the front

 

This is pre alignment readings. Please advise. Thank you

 

What car do you have? Year, sedan or coupe, sport or non sport? As far as I know for the 08-10 sport coupes you can go upto -1.4 degrees of camber in front and still be in spec.

 

I can't open that pic, like I mentioned above, do you have your toe data?
If not be sure to call the shop and get it, that is the info you need to have.

 

Front and rear toe are in the green

My front specs are -1.3 left and right

 

-1.4 front and -1.7 rear w/ toe easily in spec is good, you'll be fine as is.

 

So have them align car without adding front or rear camber kits?

 

Unless something happened to your suspension after you got that printout you won't need to get it aligned again unless I'm missing something?
If you got it aligned right after you lowered your car then yes, you will need to go back for an alignment (and your readings will be further out of spec). But if you waited a week or more for the springs to settle out then you'll be fine as is.

Hopefully you waited for them to settle, if you didn't you probably will need some camber help

 

Those are readings without an alignment, my springs have about 800 miles on them from date of install

 

Now you've got me totally confused, your printout has a "before" and an "actual" and there was improvement from before to current, so something was done. The date on your sheet was yesterday so it looks like you've had an alignment and since your springs are settled there's no need to go again. Unless I'm missing something, which I probably am the way this thread's going

 

I took my car to in to an alignment shop yesterday, they had my car for about an hour, called me to come back in and said we can not get your car into oem specs.

My understanding was (based on that I did not pay the shop for anything)that these specs are a reading, no alignment was performed. They advised to come back when I had installed a camber kit. I posted here because I was not very confident in the advice I received from the tech at bigotries

I am considering going to another shop having them look at it and see if they are able to align?
