I thought you were turning the car into a road racer? If so, you don't want to remove any of the negative camber.
What you want to do is fix the rear toe which is thrown out when you lowered the car, and probably causing your tire wear.

So i wasnt crazy. oh man, all this alingment, caster,toe, camber,geometry, is more complicated than i spect it, not to mention that i hate reading.
correct me if i am right or wrong, but you dont want completely get ri of neg camber, so maybe if i use 2 washer i should be alright?
And if put three, when i take the car to get an spec aligment can they fix if went over?
I am so sorry for my ignorance in this theme but can we do our own aligments? at home?
P.S, screw you if you punk me. lol. -Manuel

I typically run 0.75º to 1º less negative camber in the rear relative to the front to achieve good balance. YMMV So in other words, if I'm running -3º camber in the front, I'd set the rear at -2.25º. (i.e. 3 subtract 0.75 equals 2.25) Or if I were to run -2º in the front, I'd set the rear to -1.25º You want a little less static negative camber in the rear, because the rear gains negative camber in compression at a higher rate than the front (due to the suspension geometry). So in other words, if you start with a static camber of -3º front / -2.25º rear, as your suspension compresses in a hard turn, the two different camber rates will converge into equal values, giving you a balanced car. Hope that makes sense.

So, who do i take my car to get a race aligment? anyone know someone in the gta? Bertrand Tire and Alignment near Kennedy & Ellesmere. They'll adjust everything, i.e. camber, toe, to whatever you want it to be.
