Default Alignment specs

Hi guys,

I just got an alignment after installing the Tokico D-spec kit (F 1", R 1.4" including spring mount mod). This was my second alignment since I got it installed due to the rear passenger rubbing a little even though my fender has been rolled. please see the current specs below and let me know if I should get more negative camber. It's my DD so I'm afraid getting too much negative camber. Please advise what I should do to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

FR: camber -1.9 toe 0.05
FL: camber -1.7. toe 0.00
RR: camber -2.8 toe 0.05
RL: camber -2.9. toe 0.05

Wheels: F 19x9.5 +12, R 19x10.5 +12
Tires: F 255/35/19, R 285/35/19

Why would you want more negative camber?

First thing I would point out is you ideally want no amount of toe. I lowered my car on Tein S-Techs with the rear spring mount mod as well, I have -2.5 camber in the rear and -1.6/-1.7 in the front. Toe is 0 all the way around.

Unless needed to stop any rubbing, you shouldn't be adding more negative camber to that setup. For most people you are already way beyond the "acceptable" standard of camber lol

Best to go down to a 275 with +12 rear wheels, or do more of a roll

I do have SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts. Im just trying to fix the rubbing issue on passenger side. I think Im gonna cut the fender or differnt tire size so i can bring the camber back to spec Any suggestion?

Do not cut your fenders, you're not low enough to warrant ruining your fender. Take it back to the shop, and tell them to pull it some more! If they used a fender roller tell them to add spacers to the hub to extend the roll effect!

lol...cutting the fender was just a thought. I don't want to ruin it neither. I guess I have to find someone here in Dallas to pull it a little more.
