okay this is the coupe, but I have found the service manual for sedan. Theres minumum, normal, and maximum. At what setting does the car come out (normal, minim or max)?

Sorry, missed the sedan part of your post when I first read it. . I don't understand your question. What do you mean at what setting does the car cone out? Come out of what?

The factory setting can be anywhere within the ranges given. There is no exact number that the setting is on straight out of the factory. When they make these adjustments, as long as the computer shows green (within spec) they'll stop and move on to the next car.

Thanks for clarifying... and this leads to one more question.. The rear camber spec arranges between -.42 deg to -1.42. That's a full degree difference and seems like a of difference... Let's say.. if my car's rear camber is at around -.5 and if I change the camber to -1.4, will there be a noticeable difference when driving?. (total around 1 deg).

Dialing some extra negative camber can help your car corner a little better but wears tires a little faster. But too much negative isn't good. I just had my car aligned and have the front camber set at -.5 and rear at -1.6. I'll have it set to -1.8 next time because my rear right tire rubs a tiny bit on big bumps.

Seriously? It's when the tire touches something on the car, in this case the inner fender liner. Mine's caused by a combination of wide rear tires and lowering on coilovers.

Lowering your car's center of gravity (ride height), stiffening the suspension with bracing, and stiffer sway bars all decrease body roll. Not negative camber.

I see. I haven't lowered anything. I have replaced my tire with a bit lowerend (falken utqg around 300) but I also had my alignment done twice (first shop screwed up so second shop did everything just perfect but I don't know if the camber is less or more aggressive than my previous stock angle. He said it is a bit over the stock but I should go back and ask him for the number.

Whenever I make sudden jerk, I feel the body roll.. or it feels like the back of the car is responding slower. I don't know if this comes from soft sidewall or less aggressive camber angle... so I am dead frustrated atm..

Get stiffer sway bars to greatly reduce the body roll, the camber isn't the culprit. Also if your tires have soft sidewalls that would make it seem worse as well.
