looking for posts that describe optimal alignment settings for handling. Obviously I can't adjust camber on the front (c ), but was planning on setting the toe at 1/8" out on each wheet (total of 1/4") and on the rear a camber of -1.5 degrees and 0" toe.

i autocross the car so am doing this for performance but don't want anything to extreme. what are your throughts?

P.S. anyone know where to get 1/4" spacers (max of autocross rules) that fit our bolt pattern. since this is just over 6mm I assume i don't need new lugs.

As far as the alignment, not sure. The spacers can be had at Sport Compact only. There is a link to 5mm spacers that will fit your car.

why not? My car is slammed so I am about 1.5-2 degrees negative which does help the handle of the car, also it looks good like this. Just get some springs and slam it and you'll have negative chambers automatically.

THE FRONT CAN BE ADJUSTED. JUST IF YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (GOD I HOPE YOU HAVE THE SENSE NOT TO DO THAT) OR SOME SHOP THAT KNOWS NOTHING, THEY WON'T ADJUST THE FRONT BECAUSE TO DO SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO BREAK OFF A PLASTIC CLIP TO DO SO. THAT LITTLE CLIP IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM ADJUSTING THE FRONT CAMBER SETUP. IF YOU CAN'T DO IT YOURSELF I RECOMMEND GETTING YOURSELF A MECHANIC THAT DOES WORK FOR OR WITH NISSAN CARS AND TAKE HIM ASIDE AND TALK. ALOT OF THESE GUYS WANT THE SIDE BUSINESS AND KNOW WHAT TO DO OUTSIDE THE "GUIDELINES" OF THE FACTORY. KNOW THOUGH THAT THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE SUSPENION IF SOMETHING WAS TO GO WRONG LATER ON. MY COUPE IS AN 2005 AND I DID THAT PRETTY MUCH THE MOMENT I GOT IT. I HAD THE FACTORY 19'S WITH THE SPORT TUNE SUSPENSION PACKAGE (WHICH IS NOTHING MIND YOU) AND THREW ON SOME EIBACH SPORTLINE SPRINGS AND SWAYS. LATER ON I COMBINED THAT WITH THE KINETIX REAR COMBO PACKAGE TOE AND CAMBER. MY CAR RUNS GREAT THE WHEELS NEVER HOP WHEN I SMOKE'EM. GOOD LUCK!
