Anyone out here can tell me if this is the truth! I went to 2 different Nissan Dealers about the alignment spec’s. I was told they are the same for the Coupe as for the sedan.Is this true?

yep, yep...sound like Adidas2go comes thru again

thanks

but at some point down the road could it change? is not the wheel base length different from the sedan? Could it be Nissan states the specks are so close that there is no need to change?

Either way, I had the stock specs applied.

There is no real need to change specs based on wheel base. The biggest dictator of alignment specs is fwd or rwd, other than that they tend to be very similar. If you want something a little "sportier" throw a little bit of toe out on the front and you'll be all set.

Sportier is what it's all about. I know it is a drivers point of view, but what would be some good numbers? Are we speaking Neg numbers on the toe?

Guess I should put my mods on the page...but anyway Stillen SWB, EIBACH pro kit, so Guessing I am ready to make it a little more sporty..

BTW thank you "the Converted" for your answer

Adidas, FYI: if you hold ALT while taking a screenshot, it will only capture the open window, in this case you wouldn't see your taskbar.

Typically I ran 1/32" to 1/16" of toe out on the front and 0 on the back of my cars.

It's a good compromise of handling response and tire wear. Any more and the car gets very darty on the highway and you eat right through tires.
