Pete,

What are you using for springs?? I ask since your rear negative camber sounds high for Bilsteins on the lower setting which should lower the car 7/8". Are you by chance running with Eibachs too?? That would bring it down almost 2" which would make more sense for that amount of negative camber.

You must set the steering wheel during the alignment, as Fritz mentions. And the alignment should be even on both sides, camber/toe/caster. I suspect they have the front wheels as positive we they can get. I am running a little low now due to sagging springs and I was at .5 and .8 negative camber when both wheels were full positive. The shop set both the .8 to make them even. I am sacraficing tire wear now, but have very even handling. I also suggest a change in alignment shop.

The negative camber in the rear will effect the handling since the tire contact patch is in a different position. For street driving, it will be less noticable, but as coolnsx mentions, you will see some wear issues.

HTH,
LarryB

[QUOTE="Larry Bastanza, post: 207083, member: 3729"] Pete, What are you using for springs?? I ask since your rear negative camber sounds high for Bilsteins on the lower setting which should lower the car 7/8". Are you by chance running with Eibachs too?? That would bring it down almost 2" which would make more sense for that amount of negative camber. You must set the steering wheel during the alignment, as Fritz mentions. And the alignment should be even on both sides, camber/toe/caster. I suspect they have the front wheels as positive we they can get. I am running a little low now due to sagging springs and I was at .5 and .8 negative camber when both wheels were full positive. The shop set both the .8 to make them even. I am sacraficing tire wear now, but have very even handling:). I also suggest a change in alignment shop. The negative camber in the rear will effect the handling since the tire contact patch is in a different position. For street driving, it will be less noticable, but as coolnsx mentions, you will see some wear issues. HTH, LarryB [/QUOTE]
