Rear Camber RCE Yellow

Recently installed RCE Yellows along with Whiteline Upper Control Arm bushings. After install the Rears were sitting at -2.8/-3.1. The tuner shop was able to dial it back to -1.7/-1.8. As this is my DD is like to get the rear back to -1.0 or as close as possible. I wanted to see what the best course of action would be.

Not sure if there are any other bushings I could get to help or if I need an LCA. Appreciate the feed.

Surprised bushings helped you dial out that much! You will need LCA’s to dial out anymore but honestly it isn’t necessary. 2* of negative camber isn’t going to really hurt you. Make sure your toe is in spec, or even zero it out of you are concerned about tire wear, as that has way more influence on wear than camber.

Toe is fine. Made sure to dial 0 front and I believe the rear is like 1/16 or 1/32. Thank you.

I'd just leave the rear camber as it is, factory spec is -0.5 to -2 in the rear.

Those are the adjustable upper control arm bushings?

-1.7/-1.8 is honestly good.

Ditto, -1.8 degrees rear camber is fine, preferable to less, even for street-only IMO

That is correct. Do you still recommend that with a S/C build. Primarily the reason I was trying to dial out a little more. Thanks

I'd say that trying to even it out to -1.8/-1.8 and then run more camber up front to compensate so it doesn't cause understeer. You shouldn't see accelerated tire wear or any issues with that amount of camber in the rear. See if you can get -2.5 or so in the front off some camber bolts.

Unless it's a drag race car, it's good as it sits.
