Many of the techs are not half competent. That's the real problem. They just adjust until the indicator on the screen goes green and call it a day. Those are the ones you want to avoid.

If you don't correct the camber in the rear, wouldn't your tires get eaten like no other on the inside tread? I just got my SS+P's put in earlier today and went straight to work b/c I was already late. Later during the evening, I noticed that the rear tires are literally pointing in like \ vs |.

I told the shop to drop the car 2 inches.

I was planning on getting my alignment done tomorrow morning, but I have a bad feeling that it'll be a waste of time b/c the camber of the rear seems to be so far off it's not even funny.

When eyeballing it, the front looks straight, but the rears....man the rears look really pushed in.

Hopefully it's as easy to correct as you say it is lo_bux....I don't want to have to spend any more money >_<

I have -1.6 degrees of camber in the back and -1.5 degrees in the front.. The Teins are almost at maximum camber in the front. Just be sure the toe is set to 1/16" in on both ends and you will be golden. That's what kills your tires, not camber.

so the tires will be pointing in towards the car, and the wheels will be pointed like

Is this correct?
