Alignment Spec

I just had an alignment done today. I was just curious as to what everyone thinks on the spec sheet and trying to think what sort of camber setting will do me best. ( I don't have front camber arms, i have the SPC in the back)

What is it you want to know? The front is out of whack and can't be fixed unless you install camber arms. The rear toe is bad and is going to eat your tires up very quickly.

should I get front camber arms and rear toe bolts in the long run.

From what I understand, Camber doesn't wear your tires, toe does right.

IMO, yes definitely.

Both improper camber and toe setting wear your tires, just in different ways. Excessive negative camber wear wears out the inner part of the tread before the outer, excessive toe wears in a feathered pattern all the way across the tread.

Should get some rear toe bolts asap, they're relatively cheap compared to the camber arms I believe
