The alignment tech was absolutely correct. Our cars have no adjustibility for camber. If you want to have control over the camber settings you would need to get an aftermarket camber kit for the rear and some adjustable ball joints for the front.

Just to give you an example the last front set of tires on my 20" wheels lasted me almost 2 1/2 years, Even then the wear was nice and even and I could have had them for a bit longer. Now take the back I did not have a camber kit till recently and those tires lasted me half the time as the front and those were worn severely on the inside tread.
Just in case any one wonders I'm running SPC front and rear kits on my 250 which i transfered over to my 350.

Even with the toe set to almost zero he can greatly benefit from a camber kit.

Oh yeah, of course he would benefit from the camber kit. I was just saying that he would not have any major issues without one (assuming hes not running really aggressive wheels).

i have the rear megan arms int he rear & set toe to 0 upfront. Drove 2600 miles after my alignment, got back and checked the tires.The treadwear was pretty even. keep in mind i also have the FIGS poly bushing for the LCA.
