Changed my LCA bushings yesterday and got an alignment. The mechanic said that the camber is maxed at -3.4 degrees all round. This sounds awfully negative considering I'm not slammed. Currently dropped on tokico and eseplirs. I knew I would run some negative camber but this seems a bit high for my drop.

Yeah I think its just the mechanic. I took it to tirekingdom because I had a free 1 year alignment with them after purchasing some tires a couple months ago. I think I'm gonna find another shop.

It takes a while to find the right place but I eventually found a shop wiling to do the lance alignment and they nailed it.
Im not as low though I am on tanabes, but the car handles much better now with these specs.
Its def the mechanic or something is way off.

It's not hard to figure out if your alignment's maxed out.
Get under the car and look at the rear subframe from the back and there are 2 bolt heads w/ dials on them at the bottom corners of the subframe. If the dials are pointing towards the outside of the car, then the camber is physically maxed out.
Another thing is some shops will say "it's maxed out" b/c of the toe correction limitations, so I would check the eccentric bolt that holds the toe rod onto the subframe if the lca bolt isnt' maxed out.
