Got my alignment today.... dude wouldnt do my camber i figured haha due to the fact that he said it aint gonna do anything...

came out to be -2.5 all around
Toe and caster are now in spec

Im assuming that if i get RCA and maybe the front will be in spec right??
i know for sure i can get the rear to be in spec and then imma have to roll my rear for sure... my boy has the roller so im good on that part..

dont roll your rears shave them roll your fronts but not the rears the double layered thickness of the rear fender can cause dimples and will not be a happy quote on getting your quarter panel area fixed.

Nope. RCAs will help but if you are at -2.5, you won't get back to spec.

To get to spec, you need adjustable a arms such as the ones from Ikeya sold by our CL Vendor - Carson Toyota

Rolling is only for cars like Hondas with thin sheetmetal and a thin coat of paint. There are 8 years of posts on this topic. Do a search using keywords like "Shaved" and/or using my screenname.

Front fenders are thin so they could use fiberglass reinforcment. Rear fenders are very thick. Monitoring 2 cars with shaved fenders over 3 years time and over 100k miles = no issues.

-2.5 is okay mate. just make sure you have toe in spec and you wont chew tyres much. mine are still fine running -2.2 all round and ive had them on for probably nearly 10,000km. havent even needed to flip them yet, and i daily the car
