2 degrees of camber isn't bad at all for Daily driving, the car's rear end will kick out easier, and your tires may possibly wear faster, but nothing to worry about.

Loving the latest pics. I'm running - 1deg rear camber with a 22mm drop and I agree that yours looks fine but you may want to try a little less than - 2 for the sake of tire wear and getting more predictability back from the rear. You may be limited by your tire width but I think there is room to spare without rubbing the fender.

Absolutely gorgeous setup! The 19s seem to fit the car well. What made you go with them over 18s?

I really wanted to get to around -1deg for the rear. It's just that the mechs at the shop were scared that the tires might rub the fenders. I'm with you that there might be some more room, but I don't have much experience with these things. I'm really worried about tire wear so I really want to get the negative camber under 2deg. I'll try to get back to the shop to dial a bit more positve camber. -1deg camber for front and rear would be good for daily driving? What do you have for your fronts? Thanks for the pointers bro.

About the 19s, actually my wife chose the 19s. I wanted 18s at first, but she said if I would spend money on changing the wheels, why not get a bigger one than going up just an inch? After installing the wheels, I'm really glad I listened to my wife!

For the front you can run a little more than -1 and have good turn in response with good tire wear, since those tires will be moving around much more. Currently I have oem camber bolts that allow -1.2 to -1.5 degrees in the front. My front is set to -1.2 degrees.
