Progress Lowering Springs (Alignment Specs)

I put on my progress springs a couple weeks ago and I waited for my new struts to settle then to go get the car aligned. I emailed progress for alignment specs but they didn't give me anything to use and when i went to STS to get it aligned and i showed them the sheet that had some info on it they laughed at my face.. Does anyone who has the springs have a spec chart that they can email me or anything..I need help and I don't want to call california cause phone bill but if i have to i will

thanks for the help if u can

Not sure I understand zman. You should continue to use Nissan specs for your alignment settings. If in doubt just have Nissan align it although it'll probably be more costly @ the dealer versus a shop. Any decent wheel and tire shop should be able to accurately align it for you. Good luck!

Nothing you can do about the rear setting so the front settings are


Camber 0.0 - (-1.0) degrees
Front Toe 0.00 - (0.10) degrees

Front Toe is the most important, I've done the alignment on progress springs and the camber was right on -1.0 degree camber, and toe was adjusted to 0.05 toe out.

The alignment machine any shop uses should have the specs on their system, when in doubt, you can have them call up their alignment machine manufacturer and get the specs there.

Well it seems that they wanted something from progress like a chart of some sort that gives the details on toe, caster and camber. I think I'm just going to call progress up and see what they say.
