Help! Lowered With Camber Kit and have problems
As the title says, I have an 04 coupe lowered on tein s-tech springs and I recently got my spc rear camber kit put on. Before the camber kit was put on, the car drove just like it did stock. After the camber kit was put on, the ride sucks. I notice that when Im driving and I go over a little bump or crack in the street, my car pulls to either the right or left. It feels uncomfortable and unsafe as well. Then today I drove approximately 30 miles and when I got to work, I noticed my tires smelled like they were burning and they were pretty hot. Any suggestions to what the problem may be? Btw, I got the camber kit put on by the alignment guy at a local wheel works shop.

What does having your alignment done for free have anything to do with getting a printout of the specs of the alignment? I get mine done fore free and always get a printout of the specs for reference.
Take it back, get it aligned, and then see how it feels. Make sure you get a spec sheet printed out so we can reference it next time.

you got jacked on your alingment. Happens all the time. Shops want to do a 10 minute on the rack toe n go and hope nobody notices. Always ask for the printout. The stuff in red = bad.
I am running 350z stechs on a 06 coupe with the same camber kit. Took it to the dealer. They squeaked pretty good that the car was dropped and they couldn't guarantee to get it back to spec but once they got it on the rack and saw the camber arms it suddenly changed to "no problem". Cost $140 but I'm green and I'm good.

Unfortunately camber/toe kits just fix static numbers they don't change the camber curve or bump steer problems created by lowering. That can only be solved with a total suspension steering redesign. [You can get extended tie rod ends and spacers to bring toe/bump steer more in line]. But Camber curve is created by the suspenion mount locations and is unchangable without serious welding and redesign.
Same with rear toe gain/loss curve in acceleration and braking.
Static alignment is just sitting still and shows little about what happens driving at speed down the road or braking.
