+1 I've seen many people make this mistake. you must install the alignment products as a complete kit.

actually I started a thread and had 4 people reply with Eibachs, and every single one still has uneven tirewear. Their toe was bought within spec, but not the camber.

Completely answered my questions and doubt about buying a front camber kit. Will be posting charts immediately after install...before and after allignment.

...just need the snow and salt to go away so i can bring the car out of hibernation :-(

^^ Yeah I'm currently at:
Left Rear = -2.0
Right Rear = -2.1

I want my rears to be:
Left Rear = -1.3
Right Rear = -1.3


Here is the stock specs.... Print this and take with you.

OUR CAMBER STOCK SETTINGS - G37S
-----------------------------------------------------------
FRONT = normal: -0.42 (Min = -1.17 to Max = 0.33)
REAR = normal: -1.33 (Min = -0.83 to Max = -1.83)

-1.9 is pretty much right there on spec so -1.9 isn't bad. For me its not about the tire wear now... a -1 to a -2 on rears isn't bad tire wear at all. I just want it more flush on the rear like the front is. which are around -1.

Ok, I took my car down to Les at Miami Chassis this morning and he looked over the SPL rear toe kit and said that would only help 1/4 of toe. So he said it wasnt worth the labor to drill it out etc. for about 1/4 adjustment. He said he could just do it by elongated the hole for the toe bar and did so.

So results for my Rear are:
left Camber: -1.09
right Camber: -1.00

Left Toe:0.22
Right Toe:0.20




ohh by the way stock toe in rear range is Min = (0 in) max = (0.220 in)

Now for KEN!!!!.... LOL!!!!
