Angry Negative Camber

Anyone know how to get rid of Negative Camber on a SC400?

Do i just need an alignment?
Is there actually a camber kit in existence?
Running on 18X9 rears and 18X8 fronts wheels..
Rears are showing extensive negative camber..I'm getting real worried that it might put a hole through my bank account!:eek:

Depends on how negative the camber is. The manufacturer's specified camber range is

Front:

-0.70 to +0.80 degrees Camber
+2.00 to +3.50 degrees Caster
-0.05 to +0.15 degrees Toe
+8.20 to +9.70 degrees SAI
+7.50 to +10.5 degrees Included Angle
+6.68 to -3.68 degrees Turning Angle Diff.


Rear:

-1.60 to -0.10 degrees Camber
+0.13 to +0.33 degrees Caster

Cross Camber: -0.50 to +0.50 degrees
Total Toe: +0.25 to +0.65 degrees

I suggest you take your car to an alignment shop and have it's alignment measured as precisely with digital alignment mapper. If the Camber is within +/-0.05 degrees deviation, it can be corrected, otherwise camber eccentric washers will have to be installed.
