Default alignment with lots of negative CAMBER

my local just tires couldn't adjust toe on my EG hatch because it has over -1.5 camber . (the frickin lazor beams were off because of the camber made them point to ground ). I just wanted to know what all you guys are doing for toe when you are running very negative camber

it doesnt really madder cuase that camber is gonna wear the hell out of ur tires, so get some camber kits, in the front and in the rear, then worrie about the toe, u chould bring the toe in using a tape measure but ur tires are still gonna wear alot, if u dont no how to do that, take it to a place that uses the old hunter alignment machines, the new ones are crap and thats why the senors chouldnt read the readings.

Are you sure the toe is off?

And I wouldn't worry about the camber, too much if you autocross.

i got the impression that toe in/out will wear your tires out faster than negative cambering

you don't necessarily need a camber kit in the rear. Search on how to fix your camber with a longer bolt and washers in the rear for just a few bucks.

It was my understanding that camber kits were kinda spendy?
