Got an alignment today finally.

Started off with -10.5 rear camber, and then had my LCA's and toe set to the shortest length possible, and was able to get -9.2 camber with 0 toe. Ended up being exactly where I want the wheels to be. I only have -5.5 front camber right now, so need to get new plates or notch my coils to get closer to the -8 that I'm looking for.

I'm just gonna ask a really dumb question. What tires do you run? Honestly, I have about -4 degree camber in the back and my tires don't last too long, I'm maybe getting about 3-4k miles out of the backs.

I currently have Federals in the rear..

But maybe consider getting an alignment? I'd guess that your toe isn't within spec, so its scrubbing away and eating up your tire. I don't really pay attention to how long my tires last, but I know they don't go bad that quickly.

When you go for an alignment have them zero out the toe. It will have minimal wear on your tires

I need help with camber for my fronts. What did you mean by notching your coils?

What profile tire you running? 35 or 40 series?

If your camber bolts don't gain enough camber, you can slot the upper hole on the lower coilover mount. This will gain you a few degrees of camber depending on how much you want to notch the mount.

Basically make it look like this:

I have 17's in the front with 40 series. My rear battles are 215/35's, the blitz's are on 215/40's.

Few random shots while I was getting my car aligned yesterday.

Oh okay great. Def makes sense although my camber bolts are made for the lower strut tower not the upper. Think I could notch the stock bolts?

You'd be notching the strut mount itself, so you wouldn't be touching the bolts..

Yeah the hole. I meant if I could use the stock bolts for the upper strut tower when I notch it
