08 Alignment with Cobbs w/o camber. Need Camber?
<a href="http://img103.imageshack.us/my.php?image=alignmentyi4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/4348/alignmentyi4.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a><br /><br />
I have installed Cobb springs last week and here is the result after the alignment.
Toes are fine in both front and rear,
but the cambers are a little negative.
I am now wondering if I should buy the camber kit.
Running a little negative on front should be fine i think, but I am not too sure on the rear.
As you see, Left is -2.3 and right is -2.1
where OEM spec : -1.1 ~ -2.1
So, I am on the edge.
(for fronts, im doing -1.6 and -1.9 where -0.2~-1.3 is OEM)
Do tire rotation at 5k be okay or should I invest in camber?
BTW, how hard is the rear camber installtion?
Thanks for all the help in advance.

Everything else is stock by the way.
I am thinking they should really be okay since they are only off by 0.2 on left, and right is on the edge but within spec.
Not sure the effect on tire wear though.
Any suggestion would be welcomed

It is only off by a little bit, and the alignment shop told me that as long as i stick to wheel rotation.
I was just a little more anxious.
However, I am a little picky with cars and prob have installed camber on the rear if I had to do it all over again.
