Default Too much Negative Camber?

I went to the dealer and got an alignment.

-1.8% front
-2.8% rear

Thats the most they could get it in spec. Am I cool? Car handles bad *** but is this gonna kill my tires?

your tires will be fine. most tire wear is caused by toe not camber.

The front seems good from a handling perspective. There is a little to much camber in the rear though.

Hi,

You prob want to consider getting a camber kit. It seems to me you are cambering a lil too much. I would recommend somewhere around -1.5 in the front and -1 in the rear. The last thing you want is to have you car ride on the edge of you expensive tires.

Its true that having a toe in will eat up the tires as well as having too much neg camber therefore I would get it fix asap if I were you. FYI...I just got some Cusco camber adjustable A-arm for the 350z....give me a call if you are interested.
