Default Alignment on low drops.

I have skunk 2 springs(8 coils all around). I was wondering, why is it that the wheels still looks butterfied & the alignment is suppose to be good? Am I missing something? Should I have them make it more positive? How much can stock camber adjust negative & positive? Thanks in advance.

Butterflied? I guess you mean it has a dose of negative camber? You can probably get close to stock camber but having a little extra is not a bad thing. As long as your toe in is in check then you are good to go. Do you have your specs from when it was aligned?

no need for a camber kit. the car comes from the factory adjustable take it to someone who knows what they are doing. You want to run some negative camber front and rear just correct the toe.

I dropped mine 1.5" and found I could not get the camber any lower than below with out affecting the toe.
This is because the toe contro arm is a fixed length and not adjustable.
Have a look at the Megan, T1R and J's adjustable control arms.
