Negative camber

Had the coil overs on for a week now and just went to get an alignment.

My front tires are -1.4 and -1.7 and the back tires are both -1.8.

That ain't too bad, is it? My tire guy said he'd dismount and remount the tires for me at 10k miles.

Thoughts from those with experience with negative camber?

The toe is fine. It WAS angled inward slightly, but he fixed that.

-1.8 is still within spec, barely. You'll be fine with these numbers

Cool. Thanks guys. Just not that knowledgeable about such things, but I am learning!

She handles SO much better. I have to be honest, I was skeptical about coilovers being that much better than the stock sport suspension... but I AM A BELIEVER!
