Alignment question

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yes, get the camber kits if you want to decrease tire wear, or buy fully adjustable arms off of some drift type company. I think K-Sport or Megan Racing makes them, then it's an upgrade, and an adjustment method in one part.

Intense is local to me.

Thanks Farbin.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yeah, don't buy the Alignment Shop "Stock" style car camber kit, just go fully adjustable, rebuild-able arms. I'd do the ones in the rear too, they make a big difference from stock stamped/cast stuff.

Intense is out, I have a thread in a local site and he just demanded I not post links to competitor (to him) sales sites rudely.

lol

I'll pay more to deal with someone that is not an ass.

The internet has made some guys think they are the God's of their Universe.

Someone asked about my rear rotors which were on back order for over 2 months, I found them for 159.xx delivered when the cheapest was about 177.xx, I responded that they were from xxx.com & the link. That was over a week ago.

In another thread there was discussion of the rear solid differential mount. I posted I got mine from a local shop that has them made. (part of intense's diatribe was out of state vendors) so of the two links I posted 50% WERE IN STATE YET HE IS COMPLAINING?

Whatever.

I just noticed there is solicitation for my business in the diatribe. Sure you can has my business. NOT.

Well Ryan does the competition alignments out of our shop so feel free to contact us on the scheduling of it if interested.

Next I will say QUIT POSTING LINKS TO OTHERS SITE FOR THE PARTS YOU ARE PURCHASING. THERE ARE VENDORS HERE, US INCLUDED THAT SELL THE PARTS YOU'RE INQUIRING ABOUT AND IT IS INSULTING TO KEEP DOING THAT.

THIS FORUM WAS BUILT FOR AZ, HOPEFULLY TO HAVE SOME LOYALTY AND SUPPORT LOCAL DRIVERS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES NO MATTER THE GENRE. You may be pleasantly surprised at the pricing some of us offer and you can keep your dollars in state and on the site insted of internet whoring and going to the cheapest bidder... just saying.

I would touch on the alignement opinion but I wholeheartedly agree with *infamous* on his statements.

Just had a thought, do you have the rubber spring isolators still installed?

The PO might have removed those to get more of a drop (low = fast yo). There should be rubber isolators for both the front and rear.

0.6 drop is reasonable and shouldn’t degrade ride quality or handling with excessive bottoming. Just watch the compression damping on the Koni’s if you do start noticing bottoming. I’m not sure how much compression damping the Z SA konis use but they are known for lacking in that area.

[parkerbink]

I have no idea but I bet you are right & he removed them. How much more drop would they account for?

[JeffRR]

I can't remember, but off the top of my head I’m thinking they were at least ~1/4” thick which would give you another approx 3/8” (10mm) at the wheel.

The rear has an upper and a lower isolator, the front only has an upper and the lower is just a nylon or rubber wrap around the spring coil.

I just bought these from a guy on my350Z.com for 250.

I'll just get the rears for 179 and call it good.

[Farbin Kaiber]

LOL, SPC was one of the brands I was trying to steer you away from.

[parkerbink]

How come? it is the brand people on the Z boards recommended. Is the rear arm ok?

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yeah, it's no problem, but I didn't like the drop in the quality of their stuff over the past 10 years or so. They are the brand that all the shims, kit's, and alignment stuff comes from, for mostly stock cars. I was suggesting a more race bred part because of the benefits those parts usually have to be stronger than OE style. If the z board peeps say they are good, then by all means go with it.
