Camber/ Dealership Help
of course the dealer will tell you you're 'way off.' that's their job. if you take it to a performance shop they may tell you a -2 is still ok but that your tires will get eaten up more quickly.
i'm running over -2 in front and back; like the way it handles and will deal w/ the tire wear when it happens. if you want to be back in specs, get the camber kit.
also, yes, the front you cannot adjust the camber; if you want to "even out" the camber on each side, a good shop can perform a 'cradle shift' to even it out. should only cost about $40.

A good alignment shop does the adjustments with the car ballasted to account for your weight in the driver seat. If this wasn't done, then getting both sides even is kind of pointless since it will change anyways once you get in and load up the left sid of the car.

Ok im a little confused on this post. You say my camber is not that bad. and what do you mean a shop can "cradle shift" to even out my front. What will evening my front camber do?
if one side has got say, -1.5 while the other has got -0.9, since our cars can't adjust the front camber, they can do a "cradle" or "subframe" shift to try and even the negative camber for both sides. i had this problem. the toe would be spot on but one side had more neg camber so it was causing my ride to pull to the left. hope that is more clear.
