-2 Degrees Front Camber Okay with -2 Degrees Rear ?
I think I'd like to try -2 degrees camber up front this driving season. I was running -1.5 last year, but I might try a bit more if it will keep me from breaking wheel well liner clips. There seems to be one on the outside edge that constantly breaks.
I run -2 degrees on the rear end without any wear issues, I run 3/16ths" total toe on the rear and zero toe on the front. Is there any issue in running the same camber up front at -2 degrees, I noticed that the stock settings have a stagger front to rear with the rear camber being higher, not sure if they do that for any specific reason ?
Thanks for any replies on this. Thanks for reading.

You'll be fine as far as tire wear goes. If you're tracking the car, more front camber results in a bit more oversteer tendency because you'll have more front grip on corner entry.
Less front camber as compared rear is more of a safe/understeer setup.
You'll be fine.

You'll be fine.

Thanks B !. That sounds good. I always wondered why the oem alignment settings have more camber on the rear, but that makes sense. I have not tracked the car at all, so it might be a good street setup. Thanks for the reply.

you will be perfectly fine, max out the negative front camber and set the rears to match. That -0.5 extra camber wont be noticeable enough. You should be able to get -2.5 all around.

Thanks very much, that's cool, I will see how much front camber I can get once I get to the alignment shop, I'll be happy with -2.0 anything above that would be a bonus.

I think it's a great idea. Will help with turn-in and get you a little more rotation. Go for it.

Thanks B !. On a side note my car has been lacking in the turn-in department and rotation, if I can pick up some of that and keep my liner clips safer at the same time that is a bonus !.
