Default how bad are my camber results ?

I just got an alignment about 2days ago and my Toe was set to zero, but I do not have a camber kit so unfortunatly that was left alone.

My camber results came out to
Rear passenger side 3.3 degrees,
Front passenger side 3.3degrees,
Rear driver side 2.2degrees and
Front driver side 2.5 degrees.

How bad are these results ?

I would look into purchasing a camber kit for your car.

Some suggestions:

Skunk2


Or

Ingalls

I'm guessing that's -(negative) camber?

For me and tire wear, I would try to get at least a -1.5 to -1.8 in the front and in the back a -1.1 to -1.5.

What works for me not not work for someone else.

It's just a suggestion.

Ehhh... don't worry about it. I have almost the same amount of camber and wear really isn't bad at all. I never liked the look of the car when camber was too close to 0 anyways. Even -1 is boring

-2 is fun through corners.

camber kits are overrated and unnecessary

toe is what wears tires, not camber. i have daily driven -2 to -3deg for years... never a single tire chewed up

well from what i experienced having some negative camber is good for cornering. it puts more rubber on pavement under harsh cornering.
