Alignment Question
I am not worried about any sort of wear on the tires as I have gotten an alignment and the toe is fine which is all that matters. Yes, the camber in the back has quite some camber but is within the range of 1 degree from stock. The only thing to be concerned if one were to be is how the tires look slanting inwards from the back, and yes, I can definitely notice this on my car
Now, I just want to tinker with the camber settings to get a better handling car through corners. Shouldn't I have more negative camber in the front than the rear of the car to get better traction then?
I also just had a 22mm TypeR sway installed. By stiffening up the rear, would that then compensate for the camber settings that I have now? I do still feel that I'm getting understeer though.

well if you really want to "tune" your car's handling, and look at camber, you need to take temperature measurements. but this on a street tire is kind of ridiculous.
even still, if you just wanted to take a more empirical instead of data analysis approach to tuning, there IS an easy way to increase positive camber. thats with rear shim kits. they basically shim the upper control arm dogbone bushing a bit further out, increasing positive camber.
you can see this is ALL im talking about. even more ridiculous is the price... might as well just do it on your own...

i will caution you that from my experience, its BEST to first remove the outboard bushing on the upper control arm, the one connecting the trailing arm, and then you should try to remove the inner chassis bolts. they tend to strip easily and will definately mess up your day if that happens...
