I recently bought some Spc front and rear camber kits. I installed them and went in for an alignment. The tech said I'm already rubbing slightly on driveways so he couldnt give me anymore positive camber but he could get my toe within factory spec. Also I was so low that he could adjust the front camber arms without dropping the lower control arm in order to adjust it because I was too low.
So basically $80 later I'm left with 0.05 front toe and .1 rear toe and it drives very well.
He didn't touch my camber setting at all and showed me the specs and the rears were almost identical in camber but the fronts were slightly uneven.
Is there any purpose in me keeping them in?
Im sure the next time I raise my car enough to allow adjustability I'm going to be in the process of selling my car.
Are there any perks of keeping them in my car?
I could probably sell them for a few hundred and make my money back but then again I have to go for another alignment.

can you post your alignment sheet? for the fronts, did you install the shims that come with the SPC camber kit. for the rears, did you install new toe bolts? do you have aftermarket wheels, and, if so, what are the offsets?
need more info.

I'm actually did not install the shim kit but did get the toe bolts in for the rear.
I'm also a little worried about tire life because they set toe to stock specs; fronts are 0.05 and rears .1 so now I'm a little worried about tire life seeing how I'm running so much negative camber.

The shims allow the front kit to get you closer to OEM spec (it provides positive camber).
Anyway, that's a lot of camber. Its up to you to decide whether aesthetics are worth churning through tires.
