Rear camber difference

I’m lowered on BC Coilovers and have rear camber arms/toe bolts. The rest of the suspension seems to look fine. I have had -2.5 degree camber in the rear for about 2 years, but this alignment shows it is at -3.2 on the right side. Should I just leave it as is or should I take it to a different shop since Firestone always seems to be pretty lazy IMO.

I personally have never had a good experience with Firestone's alignments.
Check your suspension components for wear/damage.

They probably don't know how the suspension actually works and just tried to "make box turn green". However you may have some damaged components and that was the closest they could get the camber.

Or you also have adjustable transverse link (mistakenly called "traction arms") and someone made adjustment to one of them on accident which threw toe out which made it impossible to get proper left/right balance.

Yeah the rear suspension has less than 20k on it so I’m assuming it’s not that. I’ll just take it to take it to an actual alignment shop, firestone is pretty clueless 99% of the time

If you're in southern CA you should check out 714 Tires in Westminster. They have good rates and work on these cars all the time.

Dang that’s about an hour and a half drive, might be worth it though. Going to give a local shop in Riverside a try.
