Default rear camber?

i wasnt sure where to post this. if this is the wrong place please move it. thanks!

I installed my tein CS and have it lowered 1 ˝ inch above the last thread. My camber in the rear is -1.9 and -1.8. with stock 16in wheels. I wanted to see if there as anyway to further adjust the rear camber?

And also what camber does everyone have in the rear after you’ve lowered your GS?
i want some better tire life!!

i think maxing out the camber is all you can do. of course you have to check the toe too, with bad camber you might want to give it a bit more toe in just in case.

do you just leave it with all that camber? I just installed mine today and i dropped it all the way down on the CS and it has a lot of camber. Thanks for the help.

I'm 4 threads up from lowest position (front) and about 5-6 (rear) Being all the way down is going to wear your tires like crazy, i know it looks good but it will harm your walet sooner than you think

well, what else can you do besides raising the car, which is NOT an option?

seriously, camber is one thing, but you can put in more toe in (a good shop will know what they are doing) to counter the tire wear

That's correct Rominl, unfortunetly i have hard time finding good shop, most of them don't know what they are doing.
Personally i'm satisfied with drop i have now, thus don't know any other cure for neg camber

i hear you, a good shop goes a long way. i am lucky to be in cali and know good shops in both norcal and socal. they are all racing oriented, and they both don't really follow factory spec. they look at your car and adjust things accordingly.

too bad i don't have settings written down on my car otherwise i can share

good luck!
