G37S Sedan Alignment specs?

I've searched and searched but I can only find alignment specs here for Coupes or AWD. Does anyone have the factory alignment spec range for 2013 G37S sedan or would it be the same as the coupe?

I'm getting my car aligned tomorrow after lowering on coilovers about 1.6" drop. I installed SPL FUCA, rear camber arms and SPC toe bolts. For a more performance oriented alignment but for a car that would be on the street 99% of the time, are there numbers I should shoot for? I don't drive too much (travel for work a lot and put 10k miles total over the last 2 years) so tire life isn't a huge factor but at the same time I don't want to chew through tires and I obviously don't want demon camber.

I found this website regarding performance alignment specs but it partly is geared towards Miatas. Alignment Tips ? FAST I know the G37 isn't tracked anything like the Miata crowd but was wondering if there was a alignment spec range that people have come to find was a good balance for sporty street alignment.

Have you checked your owner's manual?

Also the factory service manual linked on this site has the alignment specs.

Here's your FSM
Index of /FSM/G37/Sedan/2013
Click on FSU (front suspension), then go to page 45
Click on RSU (rear suspension), then go to page 25
Camber specs are less negative on Sedans FWIW.

For a more performance oriented alignment run camber around -2 while keeping toe in spec. And you should expect decent tread wear, especially if you can do at least a side to side rotation every 5-7kmiles.

Here's the results of the alignment after my rash of suspension mods. Tein Street Basis Z, SPL FUCAs, SPL rear camber arms, Eibach sway bars, 370Z Sport Rays and new sticky Michelin PSS. I also had the car corner balanced. My alignment shop said the SPC eccentric toe bolts weren't needed (saved me a couple hundred in labor) in order to get the alignment in spec which was nice as I wasn't comfortable with the grinding that would have been necessary. Had to run a little extra camber for the big Sport Rays in the back but I'm happy with the stance.

Looks like that shop knows their stuff, nice specs, great looking fit, and looks like you have the height on your COs set real well. Two thumbs up!

Post some reviews of those SPL & Tein parts when you get some miles on them.
