I recently dropped my 2012 G37xS on Swifts as well, and I got the same results. -2.0 camber in the front, and it can't be adjusted.

I was under the impression that with Swift springs I would need NO camber kits, or only rears if I wanted.

Just had another alignment after the SPC camber kit. Much better

That's one of the best alignment sheets I've seen, even a bit better than mine.

So what's going on here, Newt? These guys coming out of the woodwork with negative camber way out of spec on Swift Springs... do you think this is an AWD thing? Or is it just coincidence, and every car is unique?

I'll be getting my alignment this week so we'll see whats up. I will say if they can't bring it close to spec I will have to wonder why I went with swift in the first place.

My stock suspension xs sedan is just barely within range. Any further sagging in the suspension and I will need a camber kit to keep it in.

Because I want the maximum amount of negative camber I can get while still in range of specs that won't shred my tires, and I want this to pull in the top of my poked rims. That's why I went with Swift, for the minimal drop and OEM like feel.

I'm hoping for .8 on the rears and .5 for the fronts. We'll see.

You mean -0.8 and -0.5, and yeah that would be perfect.

I'm probably going to wait a 100 miles or so before getting the alignment.

Of course I do and if someone interpreted that the other way then they got bigger fish to fry.

Indeed. Like the irresponsible crazy of photographing loose springs upside-down.

Turns out the rubbing noise wasn't coming from the front so looks like I need to take out my wheel liner in the rear. Yay.

If it helps any I've got a AWD sedan and my camber was at -2.0 in the front and -1.5 in the back. The shop said the fronts were maxed out, but they were able to adjust the rear by a little bit. Toe was completely in factory spec though
