Had my alignment done yesterday, only mod is Cusco Street Zero A coilovers.. I'm not sure whether I should ask them to match the front camber to the natural rear camber, or get rear LCA to get closer to what the front is set at - daily driver.

More front camber and less rear camber. Get some SPC LCAs if you're on a budget. Have them fix your toe too.

Hey guys,
After reading the thread I'm understanding that when I lowered my car I got natural camber. Basically I need 0 degrees toe as well So what's the best camber to go on all 4 wheels -2 degrees with 0 degree toe (after I raise my front suspension back up) |

Thoughts on adding ballast for the alignment? On my previous car it was recommended to be aligned with a certain amount of weight in the car. I played around with it at the shop and it made a small difference in the numbers.

Max camber or close to 3 up front, or at least more than the rear. 2+ for the front is a good start.

Handling wise - depending on for what/where/how you'll use your car. For daily driving only i'd go for -1.5 to -2 front camber, -1 to -1.5 rear. If taking also to track, then -3 front, -2.5 rear. In both cases zero toe front, slight 0.1deg toe-in rear.

So with stock shocks/springs, at stock height, without slotting, -3 camber front is possible even with rubber top mounts.
SPC 81305 camberbolts lower hole, Whiteline KCA416 ones in upper, Whiteline KCA434 LCA bushings anti-dive kit for slight extra caster, Powerflex PFF69-801G LCA bushings for extra camber, (non eccentric) Subaru group-N topmounts: But it's about max for front camber (~ -3.1dg), so if more is needed, camberplates or lowering or slotting probably is unavoidable evil for extra camber. |

So I just got an alignment from tire kingdom. But now I notice when I drive it still pulls to the right a little bit. Is this normal or is this something I should be concerned with? I know alignments will not be prefect every single time but just don't want any extra wear on my car or tires.

timmydatooth: first things to check - tire pressures (if tires & their wear same). And who knows, what alignment really is, do you have printout? Alignment been done != alignment done right.
