Cuz when we installed mine, from the looks of it, I got a 'little' negative camber in the rear. Thanks

A "little negative camber" in the rear is within stock specs if it is no more than -1.5 degrees.

it's not quite 2. I used the RRE kit, which is basically the same.

you will get around +.75 degree of correction with the 4 washers, give or take. I needed about 6 washers to get mine within factory specs...

What springs are you using?

I just installed my eibach pro-kits and used 4 washers. Seems to be fine when I did an eye test.

how are you guys measuring the camber?...i'm totally stock but my rear wheels look like they need adjustment, wearing the tires on the inside. i was wondering if i should try adjusting it myself with washers like the 15 dollar kit. is this a bad idea?

I have the RRE kit and my rear tires don't wear prematurely with the pro kits. I have a little camber, but that's due to me runing 205-40's instead of 215-45's. (damn sportlines were too low!)

You will never be able to tell how bad your camber is just by looking at it. You need to get the car on a alignment rack. Stock specs, for the rear, you will notice a slight inward tilt( negative camber). Its supposed to be like that. When you lower, the tilt will get worse. Will it affect tire wear? It may, depending on the severity of the drop. IMO, its best to get the car back into stock alignment specs, even if you dont get any adverse tire wear, as the handling of the car will be greatly affected if the car is not within factory specs..thats what factory specs are for, they are not there for getting the most tire wear possible. Proper alignment specs are an essential to handling and the car's safety when cornering, wet roads, ect..
