Camber is not factory adjustable in the front or rear.

Negtive camber is not bad. Mismatched negative camber will cause the rear end to want to drift a specific way and alter the thrust angle of the car, causing the rear wheels to fight the front for steering control.

Get the rear camber matched.

Actually the rear end toe will cause that. When the car gets lowered, because of the way our multilink suspension works is the toe goes out slightly, causing a wandering feeling.

Correct, rear toe will affect thrust angle.

A car will always pull to the side with the least amount of negative camber, which in turn, would cause the rear to pull and give a similar feeling to a car with it's thrust angle off center and dogwalk down the highway.

Wow, then someone(No names) on here mislead me. Because I had the impression the rear camber was adjustable.

did they fixed it?

fix it for what? I need it to fit my rims on.

what he said^^

when i went to go get mines, they didnt want to do it because i didnt have my camberkit yet and they wouldnt even do my toes. going back once i get my ball joints or upper arms

I got my alignment done by a guy who does alignments on lowered cars.. He does all the drifters and autocrossers alignments around the new orleans area.

why would you fix it? theres nothing wrong with that.

seriously... I bought Nankangs anyways.. All i want them is to last me a year and I'll be good.

You dont need a camber kit to adjust the toe in the front. Also the camber in the rear is adjustable.

REAr is not adjustable as stated already
