Is this a good alignment on a g37x lower on swift with spc camber kit f/r and will the camber affect my tires btw I'm running a stagger set up 8.5/10.5

 

Wheels are 19x8 in the front and 19x10 in the rear

 

I'd want the same specs on each side.

For example, you're at 2.3* L and 2.6* R for camber in the front. If 2.6* was as close to spec as they could get, I'd want both sides at 2.6*

Ditto the rear, I'd want both sides to be 1.1*, not 1.1* and 0.8*.

 

That's the best they could do w/ front SPC arms?? That's not acceptable at all IMO, they should have no trouble getting the camber well in spec w/ just a mild Swift drop and the aftermarket A-Arms. I'd take it back and talk to whoever the lead technician is. FWIW my drop is zero gap in front and my camber is right at -1.0 L&R.

And like Lego mentioned, having both sides as equal as possible is a good goal to shoot for.

 

I read right past the SPC arms

I'm surprised they were not able to get in spec, it's generally the rears that are the problem. I'm on RWD Swifts and my fronts are within spec. But I also didn't go to Firestone type place. Been there, done that, wont do it again.

 

I'm taking it back this weekend Im in the military and currently stationed in the middle of nowhere and don't know any good shops that can do alignment on cars that have been lowered

 

Could it be because the springs have not settled I installed them on Sunday and took to get the alignment the same day

 

^ I concur with the above statements. I have Eibach and SPC arms and in spec camber. Thats the only reason I parted with $300 for the front kit.

 

No, your camber will only become more negative. The alignment is a snapshot in time. With the SPC kit they should be able to easily align it within factory specs if they know what they are doing. After the springs settle, your alignment may change and become more negative, but this will not be reflected in this alignment.

If they tell you they can't get it any better, I would request a refund and take my money somewhere else that is more familiar with aftermarket setups. I paid $125 for my last alignment to ensure the place I went to knew what they were doing.

 

Just saw you went to firestone. I have had terrible experiences with them and alignments on my previous car. Very bad experiences.

PS - Even though your toe is "in spec", I would still want it a lot closer to zero for the sake of tire wear, especially with a staggered setup that cannot be rotated. Most notably in the rear.

 

Troll the BWM, Porsche, Corvette and Miata boards and find out where those guys are getting alignments done at

 

^^^^^^^ will do

 

Thanks for the help

 

Since you did just install the springs it would be a good idea to wait a week to take it back, they will settle a bit so you don't want to have another go-round.
G/L and hope you find a tech that can be more helpful.
Also make sure the "SPC" stamp is facing outward on the brass collar, if it's inward it won't get in spec.

 

I have a appointment for tomorrow the tech didn't know that you could adjust the control arm in the front hopefully they get it right this time I'll post my new alignment tomorrow
