Hey bro the negative camber is not what will kill the car. It is the way that the toe gets messed up when you lower the car. If you get a really cool alignment shop like the ones on this thread have them set the car up with some negative camber like 2 to 3 degrees to take the corners better. That will be enough to notice a difference and utilize the complete tire patch when cornering, unless you drag then get 0 - 1 degrees, your call.
Peace
Peace

Re: question for the people in so. cal. (vsatriani)

I was going to recommend him too
I would totally go to darin on my next alignment. Darin did my first one and the 2nd one I had a computer do it. I will go back to Darin next time

Yup, that's the one on Garvey/New Ave. Best & Honest Job. Just do it once and your set for life.
The only thing is they're closed on weekends and more expensive than other places. But you get what you have paid for..................

I think I paid $70 but i forget (that's the magic number in my head).
I was also allowed to sit in the car while he did the adjustments (and I don't have any coilovers :B) but I dunno what sitting in the car means while getting the alignment done :B
with the computer one, no sitting in the car.

Sorry, let me correct that. I meant that all you have to do is a $40.00 alignment at Just Tires from now on after Monterey Alignment, unless you do more to your suspension.

your weight in the car lowers the car a bit more on one side... a bit lower = a bit of adjustment
