Default More camber on one side than the other

My back right tire looks cambered way more than the rear left. When I got an alignment the guy didnt say anything about it. It doesnt ride rough or anything. They are the same height. Tein CS v2. Any ideas?

Did they give you a copy of your alignment specs? Check there first for uniformity or obvious differences.

To recap on my current mods. Tein CS v2 dumped ALL the way in the front. Two visible threads in the rear. Coilovers have settled alot since I put them on. No ICE in the trunk. No extra weight. 20" Donz Columbo's with offsets(no fender modification) recommended by Derek @ D2.Please advise.

How long after the coilover install did you get your alignment done?

Too long. I shredded my Toyo's because of it. Maybe 6+ months. Got the Falken's put on in September and had the alignment done then.

All your Cambers are out of spec (expected) but not drastically different from each other. The right rear has 0.2 degree Less Camber and 0.08 degree More Toe which I don't think should not be noticeable on the Eye-Ball scale.

The Plot Thickens...

Some one else with less rusty knowledge may need to chime in and clean up after me since it has been 3+ years since I have even looked at a alignment spec printout.

Its possible the alignment may have changed since its been done. I know one of my control arms has slipped in the past.
