Rear camber matched? Naww im good. I dont want excessive rubbing with my wheel set up.

Are you dense? You want the RR and LR camber measurements to match each other so there is no pull or wandering to the side with the least negative camber. It has nothing to do with rubbing... if you need to have the camber an entire degree different from the other side just to fit wheels, something is bent.

all he did was get the toe fixed. cause toe wears out tires faster than camber.

well last time I checked, when you get your toe fixed, your camber gets fixed a bit too...

I had -2 camber and did alignment and they fixed just the toe and now my camber is -.75...

maybe you had a camber kit on? for people that do not run camber kits, they cant adjust the cambers.

when doing an alignment, you first adjust the camber first then the toes. so for our car since there are no stock camber adjustment, they only do the toes. and that shouldnt have affected the camber.

nope I didn't have a camber kit at that time, but when I did installed it and went to do alignment again 2 months ago, I told them to adjust it and they didn't even bothered to touch it... They said if they will set it to 0.0 my toe will be +1.5 which cause greater thread wear... So I'm like oh that explains why they didn't bother adjusting it.

wait, from the previous post, did the camber changed in the front or the rear?

and if you had the camber kit on, he can adjust the camber to 0 and still be able to adjust the toe to specs.

I was talking about my rear camber.

Well idk why he said that but whatever lol I'll be back there at end of my to do alignment since I'm going lower again. We'll see what he says this time and I guess I'll demand for him to adjust my camber to 0
