Default Another camber ?

Hey guys most of the advice I came up with about camber was: "the factory adjustment is enough to fix camber issues" but mine is supposedly maxed out, it has been lowered (RSR TI-2000 not sure on drop) and on the rear tires the outside edge looks fine and the inside is down to the cords.

I have found balljoint camber adjustments for an extra 1-1.5 deg of adjustment by Elbach and SPC....any experience with this issue?

Factory adjustment should be plenty if you're only dropped 1-1.5"

If you're lower, then...yeah. Even then, you're likely to get some inside wear on the tires, because the car isn't aligned @ 0 even on factory alignment specs.

You could get your rear tires "flipped" every 5k mi or so too to help with the uneven wear.

probably more of a toe issue than a camber one.

The toe was "right on" what? The spec is a range, and the range is different for AP1 and AP2. IMO you want to be a the minimum end of the range. If you're at the max end of the AP1 range, that is going to give you excessive rear tire wear and goofy handling characteristics.

Something in the 0.2-0.3 degree range total (0.1 - 0.15 degrees per side) is what you want.

We have a new alignment kit from SPC for 74.00 each corner and that is all you would need. If I can help let me know.
