Alignment is a bit out of spec

Recently I dropped my 6MT on Swifts and upgraded to Eibach sways. I now know what the term "car on rails" feels like. The drop looks good, I'm loving these two mods.

Got an alignment today and I'm a bit suprised that I am a little out of spec.

Front Camber Left Camber is -1.3 and Front Right Camber is -1.2. Min spec looks to be -1.1.

Rear Camber Left is -1.7 and Rear right is -1.3. Min spec is -1.4.

Toe is in spec.

I'm trying to see if I need a Front and Rear camber kit. What would you do? Is the difference minimal enough to do without?



Thx Seafoo

Coupe or sedan? With sport package? Rwd or awd?
The max -ve camber alignment specs are different for mine, where did you get the oem specs from?
Dd you take it to a reputable alignment shop?

There's a lot of lowered Gs that would kill for such good numbers
Toe's good and you've got a bit more camber (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), I would just run it, tire wear shouldn't be an issue. Save that money for something fun

I just had one done and posted the results. I'm running camber kit and getting -2 All around. Only a few shops can do the alignment here. So not many choices and tech somehow #%$$ chipped my two day old vossen rims. Looks like he clamped something onto the rim itself.

2010 g37s sedan - my local infiniti dealership had it aligned at the shop that they outsource a lot of their work at. I had it done there bc some warranty work needed to be done and it called for front alignment, they did the rear for no cost.

Thx blnewt, Nice to hear other G owners would kill for my numbers.

If I don't need the camber kit, my next fun mod will be exhaust

You're good, don't worry about it. I now run well within OEM spec camber (minimum) and it doesn't have as much "on rails" feel as it did before, for obvious reasons. I did it to maximize fuel economy as my daily travels involve straight roads... lots and lots of it.
