tein basic coilover or cusco camber problem

After I had tein basic coil and cusco camber on the front and did wheel alignment, I got these angle

front -1.8 (min -1.2 max 0.3) tein coil and cusco camber
rear -1.6 (min -1.8 max -0.8) tein coil and spc toe

rear is ok but front one is not.. The mechanic said it was the best degree he could get. anyone has same problem with tein basic coilover or cusco camber problem??

Thats perfectly fine... as long as both sides are equal... Its ok to have more negitive camber... some favor more negitive camber for better cornering... Some tires recommend -3 - -5 camber in the front for maximum performance (they are R compounds)...

If you are worried about tire wear...

If you want to save tire life, get tires that are directional only... once you see tire wear on the inside, take them OFF the rim and flip them and remount them on the oposite side...This will put the INSIDE on the OUTSIDE and you will get twice as much wear...

Must less expensive then a camber kit, you will still have good turn in and less understear then if you put less negitive camber...

I am getting 19 volks soon and may want to lower a little. My oem shocks and springs have almost 70k miles. I want to put Tein basics or some other coilover. Should I just buy a rear Camber kit from SPC and not worry about the front?

The SPC front camber arms have aluminum hub spacers to get the extra positive camber you need.
