just got my alignment, need advice
I lowered my car several months ago and totally forgot to do the alignment (doh!)... ended up blowing a tire last week from the wear.
Well I got the alignment, but they could only correct the toe in, and he said the camber was still -3 degrees. What camber kit do you guys recommend to correct this? I know factory specs allow -/+ 1 degree, but I'd like to keep it under -.5 Thanks

What spring/shock setup do you have? If you have coilovers you should raise it up.

try not to laugh...
I have Vspec II coilovers on stock struts (yea, shitty ride)
Im looking to get the Koni Yellows as soon as possible (which in relative terms for me means when my stocks blow and I HAVE to get them replaced... or a huge sum of money falls out of the sky on me) I dont want to raise my car up anymore. It's not that low, really. I dont scrape on anything unless i really floor it over speed bumps or up into drive ways. I ended up joining a group buy for an Ingalls camber kit that corrects +1.25 to +3 degrees before anyone ever responded to this for $130 Is this a good deal?

its about a two finger gap between the tire and fender well. I dont want to raise it up anymore, since it wont correct the camber all that much unless I go back to near stock height (ewwww)

first off......
do you have any shops around you that just specialize in alignments? if so, take it there! back in PA there is an alignment shop in town and a guy that works for the shop does some customizing during work. i take all my problems to him. anyway........i dropped my car 2.5 inches and took it there for an alignment. after the settle it was about 2.75. he took it in for the day and viola......perfect camber at about $120. so....if you have a shop or know anyone that customizes take it there. they can do wonders! hope that helps

i took my car and got it aligned already, but he couldnt correct the camber any more than that without a kit. I dont have any hookups around here except my friend, and all he does is let me use his tools!! Ive pretty much made up my mind about the camber kit tho. I like the height as it is, and I want to have straighter wheels.
Thanks for the responses tho!
