Default Camber drifting?!!

Since i lowered my car i have -2.00 camber on both rear tires. Ever since i lowered it the rear has been unstable alot when i would do u-turn's my traction control would beep. i have like 30% thread btw. anyone know why this is happening? im afraid of hitting the freeway too quick, i think i might spin out.

did you get your alignment done? I have more than -2.00 camber but the rest are within factory spec (caster, toe, etc) and it drives ok.

I'm all the way down on Tein CS so it's a similar drop. My alignment man adjusted it to be within -1.5 or -1.7 or something using the factory camber adjustment. I've never activated traction control while making u-turns so I think you just need to take it easy.

Your toe is probably out. Have them check the caster/toe and see if they can set it as close to factory as possible.
