Camber help plz :(

[Rsuave24]

From my recent experience, I found out that front camber kits aren't really necessary? I tried installing my front camber kit and realized that you need to pound the crap out of your strut tower...even then I couldn't clear enough room for my camber kit, so I reverted back to OEM and instead just pulled my fenders to finish the front fitment. The rear on the other hand was a breeze and got me the camber I needed to tuck the tire under the fender, I drive 60 miles round trip to school and home everyday and I haven't noticed any ridiculous tire wear yet... but i still have some adjustments to make to my camber.

If ur camber is in the red, u need a camber kit unless you want to deal with unnecessarily fast wear on the inside of your tire... O camber is the best you can have!!!

It's the toe that kills your tires not camber.

Btw, I saw earlier in the thread that someone said rear toe needed to be in about 2 degrees ?? Is that true ? I got my toe zero'd front and back and I'm still getting toe wear in the back .. SIGH.

Isn't it the front that has to be toe'd in 2 degrees?

can you post up the sheet you were given with the before and after values. as the front is supposed to be 0mm, but the rear is supposed to have a toe-in of 2mm even though your shop should have this listed in degrees instead probably.

as for -1.5 degrees of camber. you DON'T need a camber kit...and i'm probably the person that would say go get one in here but not for just -1.5 degrees of camber.

There's my reference. Where's yours ? I guess it's mm and not degrees tho .. lol.

No your front has to be at 0...plain old 0

So back to my question hehe. If I already had it aligned and zero'd out, should I have it set back at 2mm ?

Well how did the shop align it???
Usually a shop will load the cars stock specs on their computer and check your car against those specs and adjust accordingly...
