Guys is it bad to adjust your own camber? I see a lot of you fitment guys "adjusting" all the time and I wonder if y'all take it to a shop or do it from your garage.

I'm thinking about dropping my car some more so I may do the same. Guessing if both sides are dropped the same, then wheels should have the same fender-to-tire gap? Well for the most part.

Worry about toe, not camber. Camber will give you uneven tire wear, but toe will eat up your tires.

^^the conversation was about adjusting stuff yourself....he knows that most people get alignments but some work on their own cars if they don't really care all that much about tire wear

Yeah and there aren't many alignment shops here for lowered cars. Definitely not going back to Firestone. Charging me $150/alignment.
