Stupid question for OG's
 
For the rear on our 5th gens, is there supposed to be a little toe in stock? I put 20mm spacers in my rears and now looking from the top of the rear fender down, it looks like I have some toe-in as well as a little negative camber.

Just making sure my car isn't fcked up.

Thanks guys.


....Eugene, you should know more about this since you're running my wheels.

Yes.....I made a thread for this a year or two ago with pics included. Try an Eibach camber kit if you want to bring it back up to vertical.

No, not the front - the rear. The rear is not adjustable, I just want to make sure that mine is still within spec.

But thanks for the quick response.

Got it -- as for the rear, that is what I was referring to in my post. It looked to be toed in by a few degrees, but it is less noticeable with the 235s as compared to the 225s I had on when I created the thread (RE92s).

Can i still answer even if im not an OG?

seems that a little negative camber is good for your handling so dont worry about that, but i dont think toe in on the rear sounds normal, but really i dont know

MaxBoost925 Jul 18, 2007 01:12 PM

Sooner, Irish?

The toe is pointed pretty inwards too.

DasYears Jul 18, 2007 02:11 PM

take a picture and post it

If you are unsure, which you seem to be... head over to an alignment shop and get a 4 wheel alignment which will knock your rears (and fronts) back in spec.

Rears are not adjustable homie. If they're off, you're damaged somehow.

Neg camber is normal, toe... I don't think so.


I would have it checked out.

Edit... Little bit of Toe *might* be normal, I would look up the factory alignment specs...

Not true... :spin:

Nope "g-unit!"... rears CAN be adjusted. *uber smiley face*

....without a sledgehammer?

My brother noticed it too... I wasn't really looking but I think the spacers make the toe way more pronounced. I have a lot of camber too but the tires were from a 240sx owner so there was some inner wear. I want to fix it but my new hobby is costing a lot in terms of carbon fiber and titanium :(

Thanks Eugene. So in the end, your car is still within specs right? I think it's our wheels that give it the illusion.

...what CF and Ti?
