350z Camber Help

Hey I need some help.

I will be getting new rear tires for the back of the Z. The Hankook v4s in the back are almost gone and I see they are worn on the inside. The fronts (BFG KDWs) are decent but are also showing some uneven wear on the inside.
I have 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm spacers in the rear. I am running stock suspension and all the bushings look good.

I want to know if the stock asymmetric camber/toe bolts in the rear would be enough to fix the camber/ toe issues I am having in the rear. As for the front, the Zs stock A arm has no camber adjustment so from the picture, do you guys think I should invest in one to correct the camber?? Or am I just seeing things wrong with the front tires?

I am looking to get the Kinetix A arms and Camber arms if crap hits the fan.

Thanks for your time!

Nope. you will need aftermarket arm kit to go positive. warning your z will handle like poop in comparison.

The alignment threshold for the Z's rear is ( per 05Z service manual is) :

Camber : -2.08 Min -1.58 Normal -1.08 Max (in degrees)

Toe (18 inch wheel) 1.1 Min 1.9 Normal 2.7 Max (in degrees)


Now what I cant find is if the stock eccentric washers allow to bring the car to factory spec. You talk about bringing the camber to +, what degree of + camber do you mean? and why would it handle like poop? The car is not dropped or anything.
Also I am guessing the tech will adjust the camber/toe to factory specs, not to the most + specs he can get the camber arm bolts to. correct?


Thanks

I could be wrong but that looks like pretty decent wear for a sports car, the car runs neg camber from the factory, so it's going to wear a little uneven. What kevin is saying is you are at factory soec now, if you adjust for better tire wear, you will sacrifice performance. Just cause all the haters online say camber is bad, doesn't mean it is.
 
So if I want to keep it in stock like alignment, I can just take it for alignment withought getting the camber arms. Or I should get the arms?
 
Ok cool :c
I had my mind set on an excuse to get the arms :c

LOL thanks guys!
