Alignment Spec Help

Just had an alignment today and these are the specs. For you guys with experience with these numbers, can you tell me if these are what are common/recommended for the G? I went to a shop recommended by several sources, but the guy didn't seem very familiar with the Z or G, and said he'd tune it similar to a corvette . Even though I don't have rubbing issues with my 275s, on the rear they said they had to keep the camber at approx -2 in order to keep the toe where they needed it (due to being lowered).

Fronts:


Rears:


Suspension/wheel setup: Tein S-techs; SPC front/rear camber arms; volk 9/20 +25, 10/20 +30 wheels; with Nitto Invo 245/35, 275/30, trimmed fender liner and shaved bumper bracket.

Thanks for any input.

seems like a lot of toe and uneven camber. take it to a better shop or someone more familiar with the car. you want your toe as close to 0 as possible as thats what affects tire wear the most. camber is up to you really, just try and keep them the same on each side. with the spc kits, id expect them to be a lot closer to normal.

^+1 Agree with wOady. And the spec ranges they used are not right for our car. I can't help on the rear camber setting to prevent rubbing, but several on the forum probably can.

For example, here is front spec per FSM for camber and caster:

Caster:
Spec: 4.83 deg + or - 0.75 deg

Camber:
Spec: -0.42 deg + or - 0.75 deg

If you do not have the FSM, then download a copy here: GET FSM Here
