For example, today I had an alignment done but they only put -1.9 and -2.1 camber in the front. Does it matter that it is not exact? And will not having at least the recommended -3.x hurt my times much? Since I daily drive the car in the spring/summer/fall they didn't want to add too much camber as they said it would be overkill for daily driving.

Sorry so many questions.
I have friends that help me and have a machine and lift and stands/skid plates, but I also know a lot of folks in my area that have had national success using a lifetime alignment from Firestone.


As far as camber, it is hard to quantify how it impacts times (it is within the range of our inconsistencies), but you can feel a difference.
