what? if you did install the spc kit your alignment would be way off? the spc kit corrects negative camber..how would it be way off if you installed it?

What I meant was If I INSTALL the SPC and take it off the alignment would be wayyy off. Worse than not installing the SPC . Not the other way around

He never installed the kit, his other post made it sound like he already did, so thats why a assumed his alignment would be off if he uninstalled the kit, but he clarified that. I still don't see how a 2" drop in the rear could possibly be okay when mines dropped around 1" and I can definetly see excessive camber and toe in

I didn't say is OK, i said is NOT that BAD
There is DEFINITLY a bit of camber and toe in, but I can live without the SPC camber kits, thats why I SOLD it (SPC).
Is not worth it for me to fix the rear camber to get it install why? parts/labor to get it on my car is over $300.
I can get 2 rear tires for 275/35/19 for $400 install.
And the tire without the SPC will last me at least a year. I would rather buy new tires than fix the camber for the rears.

In the long run is not worth it, but within 1 year of period is worth it.
If I do decide to sell the wheels/tires I think the new owner would rather want rear NEW tires rather than the OLD perfect tires with 35% left on the rubber..................

the spc kit + installation can easily cost you less than 300 dollars. mine was 260 installed. if you get the eibach kit, which is the same as spc, you can get it for ~200 installed.

but whatever you say.

here is the aligment spec just for you folks whos wondering:
REAR LEFT
Actural -2.6 Was -3.1 Specified range -1.9 -0.9 CAMBER
Actural .09 Was .13. Specified range .00 .22 TOE
REAR TOTAL!
Cross camber actual .0 before -.03
Total toe Actural .19 Before .27 Specified range .01-.43
Thrust Angle Actual -.01 before -.01

THAT IS WHAT I MEANT BY NOT THAT BAD

BTW SPC camber/toe can easily cost less than $300, are you serious. Okay let say you don't go the eibach route (spc make their camber kit) let say you buy the SPC brand through any vendor is $200 (parts along) Labor can EASILY cost over $100 ANYWHERE in S.cali. Which includes 626/951/213/310/714/909 and please exclude ****ty shops

You can get them for $143 shipped from here. Your specs don't really make sense either, you posted a single front camber number, which says it was adjusted when the fronts aren't adjustable, and you didn't post any rear numbers
