you are wasting your money buying that rear camber kit cause if you taking your car to the aligment shop most of the time they would not do it cause there are no spec for the rear. but i would buy the front camber kit and do the washer trick for the back then take it to the aligment shop. imo

the camber in the first pic is so bad it looks photochopped... I got the ingalls kit on my car, did it the same time the suspension was put in so I don't have before or after pics. Good stuff though...

wow, I know people who ride with much much much more camber than you ever had and don't have problems. You actually WANT negative camber, to a point. It gives you better traction. Plus your tires only wear out if you're wheels are slammed and never rotated, or if you're toe is off for more than a week.

you know people who ride with more camber than -5.6 ? ok

it doesnt give you better traction...for drag racing you want your wheels as straight as possible.

you want negative camber for handling...as much as -1.5 is OK for the front.

the reason my tires wore out soo much is because i never got an alignment, so my toe was off quite a bit.

and tires dont wear out if youre slammed and never rotate them..tires wear out because of incorrectly set alignment?
