Default Camber Help

So it seems that my stock lower control arm (that controls the camber) is not short enough to get my rears to 0*. Did this happen to anyone with thier z's? My mechanic advised either to mod the stock one or i gave him better idea to buy an after market kit. What do you guys think? im currently at -1.3 on left and -1.4 on the right (rear)/ By Stock z is between 0.05-0.12. This problem is only happening for some reason with the right rear control arm. What do you guys think i should do? get an after market control arm? or wtf

I am not lowered, everything stock suspension wise.

Here are some pictures i took at the shop.

Interesting. Just get a camber kit, or maybe your mech doesn't know what he's talking about (which I doubt). Oh and those are some sexy looking curves on those tires. Sorry I couldn't help

sorry my mistake, i was looking at toe.

Any clue if uneven tire wear is going to occur at these settings?

at -1.4 camber they wont wear any faster than the stock tires would. if you really want 0 camber, which looks bad btw, then get the SPC rear camber kit. but the Z comes from the factory with a little negative camber. our cars like it

i had -3.6 and my tires lasted a little more than a year. got the rear kit recently to get it back into alignment.

if you get your rear camber set to -1.30 to -1.35 your tires will pretty much wear even
