Alignment Specs Question

This may be an easy one for some of you. My 2004 rwd sedan is on tein h techs. Rear alignment is in spec. Front alignment is -1.4deg camber. I'm back on 18x8 stock wheels that I can rotate. Will I be running through tires even if I rotate every 5k miles? Seems crazy to spend $380 on spc kit plus another alignment. Thanks

There are many other things that play into handling characteristics other then camber, including toe, etc.

If that isn't your focus, you may notice a little feathering going on with your tires now that your camber is approaching the spec maximum.

FMI, contact forum member Toretto, he knows too much about tires and alignment setups.

Awesome. Thanks. Yeah I used Bear alignment in Corona and they were not digital. Probably should go to corner3garage this weekend to get it checked out.

I thought people generally feel that manual alignment is superior to digital alignment.

It depends a lot on your driving style and possibly bushings. If you autox/track a lot you probably can still wear out your outside first at -1.4 camber. If you daily drive your car around town you can probably wear out your inside first.
