how do you know its negative? has it been on an alignment rack? if so how many degrees neg?

camber doesnt really eat tires so i wouldnt even worry about it too much make sure the toe is in spec though

This^ Everyone thinks that camber kills tires. It's not toe out/in is what kills them. Also a little bit of negative camber is good.

Camber changes toe! Any time you change the camber/right height it needs to be aligned. Everytime.

Post a picture. Either you have a shitty camber kit that doesn't give you much adjustment, or your a lot lower then you say.

Although, that is not that good of angle, that really doesn't look like a lot of camber.


The only way to tell is to get the car aligned. Why are you trying to get less camber then you already have??

Ok, so you have quite a bit in the front. lol Rear doesn't look like a issue at all.

Rasie the car, or get a camber kit that gives you more adjustablity. I reccomend raiseing it.


And holy ****ed up fender.
