Alignment Results, thoughts and suggestions?
 
I finally got an alignment after a 2 week settle time for lowering springs. Here are the results:

I assume a rear camber kit is in order to preserve rear tires, but I'm wondering why there could be such a big difference in front camber. Never hit a curb or anything, maybe improper spring installation up front?
Searched and found a couple instances with similar front camber differences, and some mentions of compensation for road crown.

Thoughts and/or suggestions?

Thanks in advance :cool:

The front camber was a bit off on mine with stock a arms too, pretty common. You have pretty good camber numbers for not having any camber kits. I would suggest having your front toe set to zero and get the back to either zero or a touch toe in. The OEM toe specs are for sh!t after lowering. Bad toe specs eat tires up more than neg. camber too.

front camber needs fixed to be even and closer to -2.0 or a little higher depending on how you want it to drive. if you just DD and dont like turns then higher -1's will do. not sure why the spread. it shouldnt be like that. something is wrong or even the machine might have been messed up. check it over though.

front toe depends also how you drive. i prefer toe out (-) to your toe-in (+) that you have.

if you get camber arms get ones that adjust caster and get more than what you have.

rear camber is horrible. you need less camber than the front. -1.5 would be good.

rear toe-in looks ok.
