Hey all, recently got the car aligned, and everything was going well till we got to the right rear side, he said he couldn't dial in anymore negative camber than -0.6 degrees? meanwhile on the other side he maxed out at -1.2 degrees.

I am lowered on bilstein HD with swift spec r's and the car is used on road racing.

The car has never been in a accident or are any of my LCA's damaged. the subframe looks fine and unmarked as it should be. My question is , Should i look at replacing the camber adjustment bolts to see i have get a bit more rear camber, take it to another place? or should i trust his "skills" and just get some adjustable rear control arms and set it to -1.2.

He seemed to get the toe to 0 out as well though, which seemed weird. Because as my understanding is that camber and toe are adjusted together at the rear of the car.

we where using a Hunter pro alignment system as well.

Any advice from the suspension guru's would be greatly appreciated .

 

2nd opinion might be in order or was this shop EVO competent

 

Shop seems like a decent shop, the guy who did the alingment seemed a bit rough so maybe i should go to a specialist suspension shop and ask them about the lack of camber and see what needs replacing. ( the shop does MAD MIKES alignments if anyone is into drifting)

Any other advice?

 

When i got my alignment done, my rear maxed out at 1.6 because the bolt was rusted..This may be a similar issue to what your experiencing?

 

Are you sure the car has never been hit in the rear specifically the right side? The lower the car is the more camber you will be able to squeak out of the car however it'll get to a point where you will no longer be able to get your toe zeroed out. Camber and toe are two separate adjustments but you set the camber first as and then set the toe.

With a mild drop such as the Spec R springs which IIRC drop it ~1" in the rear you should have no problem getting upwards of -1.7 camber in the rear while still being able to zero out the toe. I would not get aftermarket LCA's at this stage of the game. I'd start with a second opinion and go from there. If the bolts are all rusted up or stripped that could be part of your problem but any decent tech should be able to pinpoint that.
