Default Camber Adjustment

Hey guys,

I used the search, but couldn't find anything that relevant so sorry if I just didn't find the thread.

I'm thinking of changing my front upper control arms to SPC camber arms, so that I can adjust the camber.

From my most recent alignment, the front left is setting at -1 degree, and the right side is sitting at -1.5 degrees. The difference is a bit concerning for me. Is that much camber difference normal?

Also, if I get the arms, I'm thinking of adjusting the camber to -.8 degrees on both sides. What would I notice handling wise if I switched from what I'm at now, to -.8 on the fronts.

Lastly, I've got that terrible feathering issue in my Z, which is one of the reasons I want to adjust my camber, help preserve the tire a bit more. Would this help?

Thanks in advance,
-Scy

I believe more than .3 difference and the car will pull to one side. Lowering to -.8 will lessen grip up front, increasing understeer. The feathering issue is caused by excessive toe.
