I put some SF Challenges on my car and want to get an alignment to make sure everything is where it should be. I was also thinking about lessening the camber to prevent poor tire wear (wider wheels exaggerate the factory camber).

Here are my questions:

What is the stock rear camber? -1.0?

Would I be causing any problems by bringing that to -.5 or 0.0? (I don't plan on autox any time soon)

For those with a polished lip, how do you prevent the clamps on the alignment machine from scratching the lip?

Thanks.

We need pics of your SF Challenges on your black coupe. Did you get Gunmetal? What are your offsets? How deep are your wheels?

The answers to your questions will come when I post the pics in a totally seperate thread. Patience grasshopper.

rear camber should be:

min: -1.1 deg max: -0.1 deg

for both right and left. For alignment they need to use 1 of the new machines that uses that strobe or laser or whatever it is and doesn't have rails.

Not sure, but it looks like -.5 would still be within spec. 0.0 would be outside spec by .1 degree.

I hope we don't have to put you on restriction with those smileys.
