Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for some help with my car setup.I just put a set of adjustable camber arms from SPC on the rear of my 2007 350z (base model). And I'm looking to do the same in the front. Here's the rub: most front camber arms are adjustable +3.5 to -1.5at least the SPC arms are (I don't want to do with metal bushings to keep daily drivablity). Currently the front camber is FL .2 and FR 1.2

Basically, with the -1.5 adjustment in the front, the maximum negative camber I can achieve would be -1.7

I'd like to know what camber other people are running out there. Since I know its very dependant on the type of driving, I should say that I'm an aggressive daily driver, but I also do some autocrossing and plan to attend some track days and driving schools to improve my driving.

If anything I've posted here doesn't make sense or I"m just flat out wrong, let me know as I'm new to all this and let me know what settings you think would be acceptable.

Thanks.

I have 350EVO A arms and they have metal bushings and there is no perceived difference in ride quality or noise from these and ones with rubber/urethane bushings. The 350Evo arms have a very large range of negative camber.

As far as camber settings go I run -3.0 in the front and -2.0 in the rear with r-compound tires for the track. I run 0 toe F/R.

For the street on street compound I wouldn't run more than -1.5F / -1.0 Rear. Street tire compounds just aren't grippy enough to use any more camber.

Thanks alot for the info. The factory spec for the rear is -1.6, which is half a degree less than what you suggest. I've also seen that with the factory spec camber, I'll still get on the sidewalls a bit during an autocross. Is the half a degree going to be much worse than the factory spec?
