-1.5 degrees camber in the rear?

 

You dont want to go too much neg camber in the rear for autox. The rear end will stick too much and the car will be a little skittish and abrupt.

Most people run about -1 to -1.4 in rear.

You can set it up with -1.2 and 1/16" toe out ( not in ) and she'll really rotate well. I prefer that along with 1/16" toe out up front and as much neg camber as I can get up front. Car will point in really well.

There is a thread on here about front/rear bars and spring rates too. Or just ask Andrew at GTWorx ( shameless plug )

Nice - Yea I'm aiming for like -1.3 degrees of camber on both sides. More camber in the rear may be good for those with an upgraded rear diff or rear sway bar then, correct?

 

Well if you want road racing, how much camber can you get up to? the more the better, like with the front?

 

UPDATE:
I went to a NEW shop and they also were not able to get it to spec!! Basically what they had said was that if I turn the bolts to the specified camber, the toe will be incorrect! They adjust the camber to spec, but then they can't do the toe??

Is this right?? that means that no one can adjust their camber! If they want zero toe, no one can have any other camber than the camber that is set at the zero toe!
Does this have anything to do with my upgraded bushings??

 

Have you adjusted the bolts so that they are at least pointing in the correct directions? The arrows should be horizontal either pointing in or pointing out. Maybe that could be effecting your toe/camber settings?

No this isn't right.....that's ridiculous!

Is there ANYONE in his area that knows a decent shop?

/facepalm, man I feel bad for you. The shops are terrible around you.

Have you called AMS yet? I am sure they know what they are doing

 

Haha I know...
Unfortunately last I checked AMS doesn't do alignments.. plus whatever the bill would be I'd have to ask 40 for gas.

ONE MORE TRY! I made an appointment with the other Good Year in town - Apparently all the guys with sports cars go to this guy, and he's done plenty of evo's. When I told him what the other Good Year told me.... Well, he said he'd take care of it! Let's hope for the best! This town sucks lol

 

As far as I know when you adjust the camber you do change the toe hence it will be off. On these cars you first adjust the camber, and them zero the toe. So what they are saying makes sense, but what does not make sense is that it seems they maybe be adjusting the toe first, then the camber. In any case, I will let you know how my experience in Goodyear in Shamburg goes.

 

 

This is exactly what my shop said (and I witnessed) about the rear camber & toe on my car! Very frustrating. They got my rear toe to "zero", but it really wasn't zero because they said that setting at zero would actually give me toe out when driving (which I didn't buy...). I ended up with -1.6 or -1.7 degrees of rear camber while trying to get as close to zero toe as possible. I mean, is this for real? Sorry to sound dumb here, but how is toe adjusted? Those bolts on control arms do seem to adjust camber and toe at the same time. I watched them do the entire alignment. Thankfully, I have to go back because my steering wheel isn't straight and the car pulls to the left. It really gives me faith in the rest of the alignment, let me tell ya! It was done on a laser Hunter machine, by the way.

Any thoughts? I'll be going to get my pull-to-the-left fixed and I might as well have them fix the rear toe if possible.

I'm in the same boat as this guy. I was told that I cant get -1.5 in the front. My alignment sheet is attached. -.8 is most they I could get without camber plates or bolts.
