Alignment Experts - Please step inside..specs included
OK, got around to replacing my lower ball joints and tie rod ends so it was off to the alignment shop. You can see the before and after was a good improvement, especially in the front!!!! Now the rear is my issue which I already knew because I have been chewing up tires. My question, how good is -2.1? I know I will still get inner tire wear, but would it be worth getting adjustable RCA's to get more in spec. Below is my printout. Some numbers did not show well on scan since it was color, but I can give those if requested. Whatcha think?

Not bad rear camber...you're only -0.8 degrees off from the spec range on both sides. Toe-In is the culprit for inner tire wear. You rear toe is good.
In regards to getting rear adjustable RCAs...it's really up to you and how fat your wallet is.
If I was in your shoe...I'd get it....but that's just me.

Thanks for the advice guys. I might see how these settings do with my tires and if I still have issues I can always get a RCA's down the road. PHML, your wheels are SICK!!!

dude its all in the toe that kills tyres hey until you get into the real serious negative camber side of things.
i ran about -3 camber all round for about 1yr and my tyres are still good, im just thinking about flipping them from left to right. I'm now at -3.5 and all seems fine.
i drove for like 2.5weeks without an alignment after lowering my car another 1/2" and i got more wear in that time than in a whole year!!
it also depends on your tyre compound too though, i run Nexen N3000 which are a hard tyre...
