Took the car to the dealership to have a bit more camber dilled in due to the new front/rear rims and tires. Just the slightest bit of rubbing the front fender liner. Fine in the rear. No problems with rubbing after the adjustment but the numbers seem a bit off.

Lazy tech.

No need to take the car to the dealer for alignment. Find your local SCCA guys and ask them where they get their cars aligned. Helpful hint...tip the tech before he starts. Tell him that you would like the car set up to your specs and it may take a bit of extra time and the tip is to thank him. Goes a long way. Sit in the car and go with about 1/2 a tank of fuel. Weight makes a difference. And by sitting in the car you will probably be able to see the alignment machine computer screen to make sure you are getting the specs you want...plus the tech will ask you questions (is this ok...want more...is this close enough...etc).

 

You need to have whatever tech works on it loosen both the camber and toe bolts on the rear. Then have him set the camber out as much as he can, and then move the toe adjuster bolt around a bit.

He will be able to get a bit more camber by letting the toe go loose and adjusting it so the camber goes a bit more negative. Then set and tighten the camber bolt and then set the toe. A bit of the camber migth come back out (so you might go from -2.3 to -2.2 for instance) but you will get some more camber out of it this way.

All that being said, do not expect that each side of the car to have the exact same range of motion. On my car when I had stock components, the most I could get was -2.1 degrees on the driver side rear, and this was not laziness.

 

I wouldn't accept that rear cross camber....

 

Then different camber is what I do not like either
The car will handle differently when turning left than when turning Right.


Clark good suggestion on leaving the toe bolt undone when getting the camber set
then adjust the toe

 

yeah lazy tech.. my guy adjusts camber first then toe.

im running -3*F and -4.3* rear on stock lobes

i know thats a lil extreme but just putting is out there u can get more than -1.9 (ur prolly not lowered so dont expect -4.3
