Default How bad is it really?

I just got an alignment last week and it seems that the best that they could adjust the rears within spec is -1 degree. I am lowered on Tein CS v2 at around 2 finger gap (when I had the stock 17's). The gap is smaller now that 20's fill up the wheelwell. The fronts seem to better aligned within spec. Are the rears really that bad or is it because I am running 20x10 in rear so the camber looks exaggerated? I was thinking about raising the car a bit and then getting another alignment, but I'm worried it still will not be within spec.

P.S. Someone please please make a camber kit for our cars!!

i have -0.9 degree camber in the back. Previously, my front has less camber, but the front tires were gone within a few months. It's the toe that you should be worried about. The toe will eat up your tires more than camber. My rear still looks even, despite the camber. I got my front toe corrected now so hopefully it'll wear out just like the rear.

I agree with GSteg, alignment is the key. There is a thread started by "KHARIZMA" (i think) which turned into great source of nubers for best possible alingment with drop. I'll post the link if i'm able to find it
