Default Camber Help

I just had new tires put on and an alignment today. I was told I need an adjustable camber kit. Can anyone suggest one for me. Included is my before and after measurements.

Thanks!

Being an alignment tech I really wouldn't worry about that being out a tiny bit, it's borderline out of factory spec.

If you really wanted to fix that you can do a quick search and checkout the different kits, spl being many people's favorites.

Another question, if I do not replace it will it get worse with time?

Probably not, but with a difference like that i would check the bushings. Typically the alignments gets like that from bushing wear of slightly tweaked parts over time.

That alignment is perfect actually. You right side upper camber arm ball joint is probably weak causing the excessive camber...you might want to replace your compression rods, I noticed the caster is off, but still ok

I would bet with a driver in the car the left front camber would even out with the right. My front left was at -2.5 and right at -1.6 with my fat a$$ weight in salt bags in the seat. SPL csmber arms fixed that easily and now I'm -1.5 front and -2.0 rear and the car handles beautiful.
