I just got my Neuspeed Sofsport springs put in and now I have some negative camber and my fender well gaps are not all even.
My front passenger fender well I can barley stick two fingers into, the driver's side is just a little bit taller, about an eigth of an inch. My rear driver's side fender well I can barley stick two fingers into, while the passenger side in the back I can just stick three fingers in. The difference is about a quarter of an inch. (It's kind of like how a table will rock if two of the opposite corners are longer than the other two legs if you will.) It doesn't sound all that bad, but you can tell just by looking at the fender wells. It's really annoying!
I was wondering if this is normal for the wear in period, or if there even is a wear in period? Also, I am going to get some camber kits (only +/- 1 degree, you can just barley see the negitive camber. Is one degree enough adjustability?) and an allignment, I was wondering if any one could give some numbers of what camber, pitch, and toe in/out would give me good handleing with reasonable tire wear as well since this is my daily driver. Please keep in mind that I do not race my car (like auto cross) but I do like the twisties.
I asked the place that put the springs in for me and they said it might be due to allignment problems. Also note that I did not replace the struts. I also have both front and rear strut tower bars, and a rear lower tie bar. Thanks in Advance.

 

If you don't plan on doing any autocrossing, I'd stay as close to stock specs as possible. Your tires will thank you.

Uneven drop seems to be common. Mine seems to change depending on how I drive. If I take hard turns for a while, I get really tight two-finger gaps...while if I just drive normally, I get looser two-finger gaps. Nothing to worry about.

Break-in period for springs is, generally speaking, 24 hours.

Thanks, I have had the springs on for about a week and they still look the same. Do you think an allignment with camber kits would help.
Also, will this uneven ride height effect my tire wear in a negitive way? Not including the exaggerated negitive camber of course.
