Each time I've messed with my suspension, I've taken my lowered sedan to the local Infiniti Dealership. No issues.

hexotic

Infiniti just released a software update for the q50 adaptive steering malfunction, had too book my dad's, theyre booked up for the next 3 weeks..... Found a local alignment shop, well se what he says. One guy already told me he cant do 20" wheels lol.... and another shop said they dont touch modified cars. The dude I found has a cancellation today in an hour, hopefully he can help me out.

Hexotic, you live just North of Toronto. That's the 5th largest city on the continent.

Pretty sure if you did a little networking, you could find a few shops. Or twenty.

hexotic

lol, i checked with one of my vq north groups on facebook, they recommended a few shops, called in, but most are booked for the next week or two. Im going back to work next week, so Im in a time crunch. This guy comes heavily recommended, and its just a toe adjustment, shouldn't be too bad.

Hahaha I saw that one coming no I mean it looks good for sure and has quite some power on tap, it's just that I don't think I would get one myself.

Cool, thank you!

man, seems like my camber is pretty bad lol.... Was hoping to have the same luck as other swift users, but I'm at -2.4 and -2.1... thats really pushing it. Going to have to buy the camber kit after all.

Here's my last alignment spec. The rear camber is entirely on-purpose, with an SPC rear camber & toe kit, dropped on Tein Coilovers. The front camber is whacked, dropped on Swift Springs, and I've not installed aftermarket camber arms up there yet. I'd prefer both fronts at -1.5*.

But like I said, the rears are very intentionally set to -2.2* to -2.3*

hexotic

My fronts were surprisingly -1.3 and -1.5.
You seeing any noticeable wear on the rear wheels?
My fender clearance seems to be spot on in the rear, so maybe i shouldnt worry too much.

Not when last I looked in August, when I was tweaking the ride height. In a few weeks, I'll be storing the wheels & tires for winter, and plan on measuring the tread depth again, middle to edges.

Of course, that doesn't help you now. Sorry.

It was cambered like that primarily for appearance considerations, because the rear wheels don't have enough offset (IMO). But I'm fairly sure the camber has a positive effect on the handling. It's hard to pin-point that kind of opinion, however. Between the camber, the wide PSS tires, various bracing and suspension upgrades, swaybars, etc. the car is seriously tight. It handles with point-n-shoot abilities that are far beyond what you would do for normal driving. When I do occasionally push it to the edge, I keep getting that "I didn't think it could do that" feeling.

It's a pretty cool feeling.
