Like I said, I got my rears done with them about 2 years ago. Ever since, my rear tires have wore out evenly. My first set of tires wore down in the inside.

I'm thinking about doing soon, but we'll see if I have the extra $. I'll post the spec sheet just for you Redlude. Don't be hatin' that nobody in Seattle knows how to do this.

Just because they did the rear, which has camber and toe adjustability, does not mean they can do the front. So are you saying that somehow this one shop knows how to magically adjust camber and that all these companies with camber arms are complete ripoffs?

I wouldn't call them "ripoffs", but yes. That's what I mean. Take a chill pill and give me a chance to take my car to get done. Then we'll see.

Front camber cannot be changed without a kit. Same reason you cannot adjust front camber on this platform by adjustable pillowball upper mounts. You can only change camber by changing the throw of the upper A arm.

Now, what someone can do is come up with offset A-arm bushings. Won't have much range, but it would offer something, IIRC 3/4 degree.

Get the A arms... sheesh. Take pictures after. I want to see what they do... do they bend the A arm connection points? Do they bend the arms themselves?

This is my reply so that I can subscribe.

From the looks I'd say that is how the Moonface A-arms work
