Alignment result question
OK folks, just got my car aligned after dropping with my KG/mm springs. I went with these since they were a progressive with a mild drop of 0.6". Wouldn't you know it my car didn't have much camber adjustment left in the rear and they couldn't get the left within spec and it was stuck at -2.2deg. I left the right the same though he could have gotten it below -2.
Take a look at my specs and lemme know what you think I should do. Anyone really know how much this will affect tire wear?
Also how will swapping to 17s of the same approx diameter which are not pushed out as far affect the #'s? I think camber might be a tad improved.
Thanks in advance.

It looks like you are OK shape, the front is not that far out on camber, might not be worth it to buy the camber kits, just keep an eye on inside wear and catch it before it gets bad and then get the camber kit and havethe tires swaped from side to side.
Same thing for the rear, you are just barely out, I was out on rear toe as well and so far no unusual wear in a year.

Yeah, I'm beginning to think that alignment results after lowering a car is very hit-or-miss. There is no textbook formula for how low you can go before you are out of spec. Last week, I lowered my car 1 inch with Eibach's, and using a Hunter alignment machine, the rear camber measured -2.0, or JUST inside the specificied range. Before the alignment, but after lowering, I was at -3.0...ouch!
Regarding your results, I would just leave it as as. Rear camber rods are about $400 for the rear. You could also dismount and swap rear tires every 5000 miles or so. It really depends are your driving. Since I primarily drive my car on the weekends, I'm OK with a little bit excessive tire wear. It is really a personal choice for you...good luck!

problem is most tires are directional and cannot be swapped side to side.

If you have asymmetrical tires then you can't.

True and True. I just hate re and re-ing tires on rims and chancing scratching lips as well as trying to get off all that old glue from previous weights.
