rear camber issue?

Hey all, I just lowered my car with some TEIN flex's. I have never lowered a car before so I need to know if I just need to get an alignment or if I actually need to do anything about the rear camber. I have no rubbing issues and the car drives perfectly well. Rear tires are 255/30-19's.

After....

Yes, you need an alignment ASAP.

Rule of tumb, when ever you mess with suspension that directly affects alignment specs, you need to have it checked.

Chances are you are still within spec but might as well check and adjust if need be.

This is my alignment after installing Eibach Pro springs, 1" drop. Front tires would have been wrecked in a short period of time. Rear camber was also way off, especially cross camber.

Specs are in degrees and minutes. -0*12' is -0.20*

Alignment shop won't be able to adjust camber unless you've added adjustable LCAs, but at least you'll be able to zero (or near-zero) your toe. which will be out of whack

Looks about right for a street car.
