personally I would say the front is much more important to have in spec than the rear, in terms of lowering a car. In the rear all that is going to happen (generally speaking) is that your wheels will take on some more negative camber. in the front however, the wheels will also toe in, in addition to cambering in. in the rear, your tires will just wear more on the inside. leaving the front at such settings will cause your steering to be sluggish, and can also wear the inside edge of the tire much faster than camber wear. you should deffinitley get an alignment after lowering a car, but im sure you know this.

yes i have been though all the eatting tires thing on my hatch civic and its not fun but like i said im new to nissans. does anyone have a link to where i can find a front camber kit that will work for a 2' drop thanks

on nissans, any decent type of coilover suspension will include camber plates on top of the strut where you can adjust the camber. Not like a civic double wishbone suspension.

Anytime you have a change in camber you will have a change in toe, both front and rear on the 240.

ah didnt know it toed in the rear. thanks for the heads up

the rear multilink suspension has the problem of each setting changing another. adjust toe, it sets camber, adjust camber it sets toe, they both affect bump steer settings, etc...

its why some alignment techs moan to high hell when they see a 300ZX or S chassis come in for a propper 4 wheel alignment...
