alignment setting questions- how much camber is too much camber
my car is a daily not looking really to burn through tires every 6 months. at the local alignment shop they said the camber was maxed out on the stock settings. They were able to adjust the toe and get it within factory specs. The camber on the other hand is negative 2.2 degrees all around front and rear.
looking to get one inch front RCA's , SPC rear camber adjustment kit. Any set ups that I can run or anyone is currently running on a daily driven set up on coils.

To be honest -2.2 with correct toe and caster you will be okay. Especially with a camber kit to correct some of that you can definitely make a year on one side of the tire depending on how much you drive.

Is caster adj. in the rear via the traction rods? How about in the front? I though the GS had no factory adj. for caster.
I am going to see if another shop can get the toe zero'ed out before I go adj. suspension arms. I drive about 60 miles a day.
The drop is not that low and my offset is pretty conservative. The camber actually allow me to fit wheels keeping the fenders un touched. The RCA would help with suspension angle and not put so much stress on the ball joints. So I may run the RCA up front.

I was able to get the car realigned. The camber all around was increased by .2 degrees negative all around. The toe was placed as close to zero as possible on factory adj.
The rear dr. side was still not in the green as far as toe, but only one degree away from being out of spec. I'm thinking the dr. rear maybe slightly lower than the pass side?

There is no adjustment for camber in the front. It gets out of spec when the lower control arm (#2 I believe) bushings get worn out. You either replace the bushings with poly ones or replace the arms. I replaced the arms and my caster went back in spec.
