Default Got an alignment today, most adjustments maxed.

Got my alignment done today. The rear camber adjustments are maxed out, with it sitting at -2.5 degrees.

The driver front caster adjustment is maxed, its out of spec. The passenger front camber adjustment is maxed out at -1.1 degrees...


Ok, now I am lowered on Buddy Club coilovers. I am pretty low too.


Now if I raised it up some would I be able to get some of these back into spec. I know adjustable ball joints exist, should I replace all the uppers with adjustable ones?




What are you guys thinking?

I would put the rear at -2.0, would be a great alignment then. Why do you want more camber? What's the caster at?

The rear camber is "maxed" at -2.5. Thats what Im saying, i wanted to bring it out a little but I couldn't get it out any further. I don't have my alignment print out in front of me, but the caster is out on both sides, maybe 6.0 ish. But the CROSS caster is good.


I know the car is too low to be functional, but in all honesty its my car and I like the way it looks. Now I do not feel like replacing tires every 6 months from such aggressive negative camber. So I am thinking of raising it up back up to functional height as well as getting some adjustable aftermarket upper ball joints for the rear.
