Question about camber
I went and got and alignment today. I installed unrevised and 4 months ago. I didnt really notice any problem untill the other day and my rears were wearing on the inside. So I made an appointment and went today. The guy told me that he fixed the toe in the rear. That my front was about -1.5 and is suppose to be about -.25 and there .75 to go either way an be fine. He said that I have some toe in the front also and said that the tire should wear evenly since the negative camber and the toe are opposites and one wears one side and the other wears the other. He looked in his book and couldnt find a kit for the front but I know theres one made. He also said that the front camber there isnt an adjustment now thats why Id need a kit but the back there is.So my question is should I worrie about this or will my tires get eaten up or anything . So far the fronts look fine. Like i said the only place I saw andy wear was the rear and thats fixed now.
Thanks

The rear comes stock with some capable adjustment, the fronts don't. Depending on how low you are, you may be able to do without a camber kit for the front. I think the acceptable number is anything below a 1 inch drop.
I thought that with unrevised springs you didn't need it but then again, I really don't know.
Anyone with this setup care to chime in?

I had an alignment done on my 04X the other day. I'm dropped on H & R sedan springs, dropped about 1.5" all around.
G35P is right: the mechanic was able to adjust my rears to -2.3 and get the toe w/n specs. However, the front camber is not adjustable and I had to leave it at -2.1, but the mechanic was able to adjust the toe to specs.
I'm in the process of getting front and rear camber kits, I'm a little lower than you and I think it will be worth it in the long run. I've done some searching and I'm going with the SPC revised front camber kit and their rear kit as well.
From what I've read the SPC front kit is great to adjust back to a maximum of 1/2 a degree of positive camber. As long as you're not dropped more than 2", there should be no problems with knocking, etc.
But you should be fine with only -1.5 in the front, as long as your toe is within specs.
