Default Camber Me Negative

Well, as if this wheel crap couldn't get any worse, my wheels appeared to magically take on negative camber....I went to the shop today to put on my underbody kit anyway, so It got looked at, and it's not nearly as bad as I thought it is. Guess it just needs an alignment....and it turns out only one of my wheels is bent, and I'll be able to get a special price on the alloy reshaping...so this will all be fixed....

Morale of the story...

Don't go to f'in NTB or anything like it....just suck up the cost and go to a dealer, because you pay and get laughed at more in the end...(End self punishment flaming)

Here are some crappy cell phone pictures at 2MP!

That doesn't even look like -2º. I'd be looking for a little more.

Seriously, you can run -2 forever with no problems.. and the car will handle better for it. I am running -1.76 in the front (and not -2 only because one set of camber bolts wouldnt get it to -2) and have had the back at -2 for a few years now.

Cool, I was just a little worried because I had never seen it like that before

-3º is a bit too much for the rear on a street application. You'd have to be even more aggressive in the front to take the push out.

Ahh. I was speaking purely from a handling perspective, not from a "I need to make these wheels fit" perspective.

yea, but in winter, im going to raise the car up about .5" in the front and .75" in the rear (hopefully that will be enough) and then bring the camber to about 0 or -1 i dont want to destroy the winter tires.
