I understand if english is not your 1st language but it's "know" not "no" for examples like "I don't know"

As far as what you should be at, that's up to you. You can try to get it back into G sedan specs, go for 350z specs or more/less

i corrected it english teacher lol

my only concern is of how close i am to my fender as it sits now without a camber kit .. like i said im close to 1/8'' gap for tire play from rubbing .. how much closer can i correct my camber if I'm already that close ..

I'm a tad confused. What's the issue? I'm assuming you're trying to dial in some positive camber? To be honest it doesn't seem like you got much room to play with. Adjust half a degree or so is not worth buying a camber kit for, hard to tell with that pic.

I'm all for going the inexpensive route. I'd say get some toe bolts and just get the toe in spec. From the pics it looks like you would barely clear as it is so adding some positive camber would cause you to rub.

you will probably get back to around -2.0* Are your fenders rolled? You should be fine. I am probably going to put a 5mm spacer out back once corrected and should have no issue.

that is correct i no we have some room with stock camber adjustment but not a whole lot .. I'm thinking i can at least get that close and just get the toe bolts and get that on spec .. thats pretty much all i can do correct

my fenders are cut ... i wish i didn't go so low that way i can get the camber back in spec and throw some spacers on the rear ...

i will go and take a picture from the ground up to show you a better view

just curious, why did you cut the fenders? i've always thought that was a bit extreme.

If your fenders are cut, that will help quite a bit. You can pull the fender to add more positive camber too.

the reason is because there are very few shops that offer to do this like 1 or 2 .. one place wanted 85 a hr and said it would take 2.5 hrs so that was deff out of the question after i read on here and everywhere is like 100 bucks and the other place didnt seem to no what or that confident about rolling it and i deff not need paint chipping or anything like that ...

+ i got more cut out of the rear and more room then i would have with a fender roll unless i got it flush but the shops here wouldn't do that but only i mild roll
