Default Camber

Hey guys I'm pretty new to cars but I want to learn more I have a 96 sc400 and I recently bought tein coilovers and plan putting them in next week. I have watched lots of videos and researched it and my friend is going to help me. So my question is how do I get a negative camber on my car? People said to adjust the eccentric bolts? Or could I take it to a shop to have them do it? And also after I install the coilovers I would need to take it to a shop anyway for alignment right?

Yes, regardless it will need to be shop aligned. You do adjust the eccentric bolts to make alignment changes, but they have to be done on an alignment rack to set caster, camber, and toe. They all work together.

Lowering the car will give you negative camber. You should be able to add a little more negative camber in addition to the camber from lowering your car by adjusting the bolts. You'll have to find a shop that is willing to align to the specs you would want.
