Default Front Camber Question

I had my alignment today and got everything back in spec after the car was slammed except the front camber.

I got it to -1.32 on both sides. Should i be happy with that or should i start modding my cusco a-arms to get it back in spec?

From what I've been told those are good numbers. What are you slammed on?

1.20 is where it starts to go in spec.

I've got Tein Flex, Hotchkis Sways, Powergrid Endlinks, Cusco A Arms, Moonface Roll center adjusters and SPC rear toe and camber kit.

I'd be pleased w/ -1.32
I'd like to see -1.6 honestly

As long as your Toe is good, you won't have any tire wear issues.

What is your rear camber and toe? Are you using staggered or a square setup?

How is the handling now?

I'm more curious for my in sake. That much camber is no problem.

Rear camber about 1.37 and toe 0.03.

The handling is fantastic, one of the best if not the best handling car i've driven and i've driven quite a lot of cars. Feels like a Lotus Exige.

You are slammed with -1.3 camber?!?!
Wow, i wish I could get that number.

I am "tire tucking" on the front with -2.1 camber on both sides, but I need it, otherwise I would be rubbing like crazy.

But you are fine.

When I do my drop I hope my front camber stays good like the OP.
