The will sag fairly quick 100-500 miles and you should be g2g. Now that mine has leveled out i am going to go get an alignment reading and adjust the rear until im somewhere in the ballpark i want, then adjust the ride height in the front to match & send it off to get the front aligned.

And yes in towards the engine = negative camber.

it also depends on how you adjusted the bolt on the lower side for camber. i pushed mine all the way in and then pulled my camber plates out. It sounds like you pushed it out. I went with the mindset that if it wasn't completely tight (although i used a torque wrench) that it would likely push more in (towards negative camber). I need to hit up Kos and get me some new bolts.
Haha yeah and I wanna go lower but will wait until the sag has settled in. The rears def need to be lowered a tad more to complete the look I'm going for and then it'll be off to the alignment shop. Any recommendations?
