It was brought up to explain the difference between the front and rear suspension, and why a bent shock won't cause what you're experiencing in the rear.

Ding is on side with more negative camber.
I noticed before alignment

The word you're looking for is accentuated.
I'm a little surprised you can visibly see the difference in camber with your wheel specs, it's about a 1/4" difference side to side at the top of the tire.

Next time use a level app on your phone and measure before/after. Don't trust them as anything beyond relative measurements, but they'll be good at telling you if you got any benefit from the attempt.

I searced on google for ft86 speed factory vendor as the search function in this forum is terrible.

The search function isn't terrible, you just have to know what to search for. There's also this very useful site called google that will find WAY more information for you.

Make sure the car is on a really flat surface, both left to right and front to back.

Just so youre informed i wasnt eyeballing camber. It came back from alignment at -2.6 pass side and -.9 driver.

Were you sitting in the car while it was being aligned? If not, it's not an accurate measurement for how the car is normally driven. Depending on your weight it could be off a few tenths of a degree.

There's no way the difference is that extreme from 1.5* unless there's another issue at play as well. Like I've said a few times, the difference at the top of the tire should be in the 1/4" range.
How much do you know about the previous history of the car? Any accident repairs at all?
If the subframe is shifted, it could cause more poke on one side even without the camber difference.

He's saying that the camber on a typical car from a ~1" drop doesn't really require any correction. If you want to keep the balance closer to stock, or want closer cross camber, then you'll need LCA's to correct it.
