Camber can't be adjusted on these cars without the installation of other parts...the cheap/simple route is to install some "camber bolts" that will give you a little bit of adjustability, the better solution is to install camber plates or coilovers with camber plates so that you can tilt the tops of the front struts in/out.

More camber (or negative camber to be more precise...tops of the tires tilting inward) generally means more grip, but at the cost of more tire wear on the inside shoulder of the tire tread. Great if you spend a lot of time on twisty roads, the suck if you spend a lot of time on straight roads.

So I called the shop and kinda went Sgt Mofo on em so they're like bring it back well fix it (gd right they will).

Since they can only really adjust toe. I'm thinin have it set to -0.1 in the fronts. And then 0.05 in the rear?

I'm very happy with my alignment on stock tophats/suspension. I have my front Toe set at 0.0 both sides, and rear Toe set at 0.05 both sides. Camber can be changed a few tenths of a degree just by loosening the bolts, just enough to bring both sides closer to matching. The more negative you can get, the better.

My steering is tight, but it doesn't wander, even with the squishy studless no name winter tires I have on now. I replaced my steering rack bushings with Delryn inserts and when I say it's tight, I mean tight. I drive up to 100 miles a day, and have yet to feel any NVM effects, even on long highway trips.
