oem rear camber adjustment
forgive me if this topic has already been covered, my search ability (and patience level ) is not what it used to be as i get older ... that said:
before resorting to an aftermarket camber kit ... is there any fancy way one could dial in extra positive camber? the car in question is currently stuck at -3.5 and will go through tires like crazy until this matter is solved ... any input/help is greatly appreciated!
-4.1 degrees of camber on the rear drivers side (before i adjusted it)
before i adjusted the fronts
after ... only got 1 degree (theres gotta be a way to get more!?)

Dennis with that drop you won't get anymore positive camber than that. I couldn't get anymore than -3.2 in the front of my car with how low I am. With all the natural camber the car is getting from the drop there's only so much factory adjustment. Aftermarket is the only answer if you want to adjust it more.

even if the bushings arent bad yet, you should still replace them as they will probably go soon if not already. if the bushings are bad, then the toe adjustments will always fluctuate. although both camber and toe are factors in tire wear, toe is the biggest issue.
with that said, you should still do the bushings and try to get toe back into spec.

I should mention his toe is just fine, I'm impressed w/ how much range our oem toe settings can handle!
When he brought the car to me he was 10mm's toe out, I got him dialed in at 1mm toe in, if I wanted to I could prob get another 4mm-5mm toe in (obviously I would not do that tho, lol)

considering that's the setup i'm running in addition to cheap tc sportline uca's, i'd say pretty low. have a reputable shop/welder do the work and i wouldn't worry. I personally had it done at bver, and it's been close to a year with no negatives to report.
edit; found older pics of my rear suspension setup. This allowed me to be at -1.5
at this kinda height

Dennis with the camber that I'm at the tires have still lasted quite a while. I just recently flipped the rears after over 8 months of daily use. So it will be easy for me to get 2 years out of these tires. Which at that point they will start to dry out from the Vegas heat anyway.

on another note ... what kind of end links are those?!
