Difference between - and + camber ???
I have my SC lowered on Tein SS's at almost there lowest point on 19's, When I look at the rear of the car it looks as though the wheels are goin out a little \ /

Thanks in advance...

negative camber is common when you lower your car.
you have negative camber if the top of the wheel appears to be slanted into the wheel well.
and vice versa with positive camber.
oh and you can correct it (to a point) by getting an alignment. i'd recommend a professional aligning it.

Some camber can be handled through an alignment but depending on severity you'd have to look into a camber kit. Kits arent usually that expensive just cost to install them but could save you from chewing up some expensive tires if its really bad.

\ / This would be positive camber. Which is strange to have after you lower your car as normally it would add negative camber looking like this / \ You can definitely get this adjusted though, just get an alignment.

assuming your car still rides well, doesn't have any severe vibrations, and doesn't have a bent control arm.. the cam bolt that mounts the lower control arm to the subframe may have been tampered with.
also i've heard that worn bushings in your suspension can have quite an impact on the alignment
