You have some pretty serious negative camber and toe for being on stock suspension based on your alignment sheet. If you've honestly not done any suspension modifications, there is no way it should be that off. So that means you either went for an alignment and they drove your car around the corner and gave it back to you, or your car had been in an accident of some kind (assuming you aren't the first owner) and parts of the suspension are bent.

I would get to the bottom of that before you spend more money on camber kits.

Good luck.

I had very bad inner tread wear just like wreckshop56. I hit a huge pothole and it threw my alignment off. After driving on it for a month It was so bad i had to buy a new tire immediately. After buying a new tire I took my car to Southwest alignments and my car is fine. I check the tread wear every once in a while just because im **** like that, and everything is ok. I had my alignment done over 3 months ago.

So southwest alignment did a good job... how much did it cost? also what size tires did u have on your car at the time? Ive heard good things about them should i set up an appointment or just show up?

Depends on if you want the camber kit. If not buy a new tire then get it aligned asap
