Rear and front camber opinion.
 
I just had my alignment done. Its seem like my front camber did not change. I had the spc camber bolt in the front on the bottom hole. Its this number look ok?. I was hoping -1.4 up front. Any though would be great! Thanks

Your shop didn't adjust them, take it back or find another shop.
Ideally this issue should have been raised before you took your car back.

I did told them that they didnt adjust the front. The tech came out and told me i can try if i can get the neg camber but he cant guarentee it. The only thing i see is the right toe was change. Plus im out of time, So i dont want to argue with them. i will try to go to diff location at the same shop. I have the lifetime alignment with them. Do u think -1.4 should be good up front?

It's a good starting point, good luck.

You need to tell the tech what your goal is. If you want -1.4, tell them to try and hit it.

Personally, if you just have camber bolts up front, I'd tell them to aim for as much as they can get up front to gain more negative front than you have rear. (Even though.)

Do you have any other mods, or just camber bolts?

Alright, then my suggestion would be to hit around -2.5 if they can, and when you have components to dial back the camber in the rear a bit, you can play with the fronts more.

Also, zero toe.

Ok thank you!

I would try a different shop or different mechanic. With Whiteline camber bolts (identical to SPC), I was able to get the following alignment:

Quote:

Front: Camber -1.4L -1.5R
Rear Camber -1.0L -1.4R

0 toe all around.
This was on stock suspension. Judging by your rear camber it looks like you're lowered around 1.5" so you should be able to get even more than that in the front, possibly closer to -1.8 degrees although every car varies. I would just ask for as much negative camber in the front as you can get evenly.

Also if you're at a shop that doesn't do specific alignments (i.e., just puts it within factory spec), it might help to tip the mechanic with money or beer. Sears is like that but I once was able to get a custom alignment by tipping the mechanic a $20.

+1 on finding another shop. In Tempe/Phoenix you should be able to find a shop that specializes in Subarus and does performance oriented alignments that knows this platform very well.

All the recommended places will do a custom alignment for you.

If you're lowered with camber bolts and that's it, I would max my camber myself and then take to a shop to have them set the toe.
