    front camber number after spring drop?

    hi guys,

    I just lowered my E on IE stage 3 springs and wanted to know what were your camber numbers on the front after the drop on stock top hats?

    I'm trying to figure what I should tell the alignment shop to set the rear at. I want to go 1/2 degree less.

    thanks

    Front: No idea, whatever the car has. Measure it.
    Rear isn't adjustable, so the shop can't do anything to it.

    I honestly wouldn't worry about the camber in the front, only front toe as that's the only thing adjustable on the car stock...

      i have my phone that i can measure but i was hoping that someone had their alignment sheet so I can get a baseline.

      i have welded rear adjusters so i can get it adjusted to my liking.

      i may just tell them to go 1/2 degree less in rear than the fronts.

        I can give you my alignments specs as a baseline reference. I'm on racing dynamics springs I believe. They are green and rusty so I can't see the brand, came with the car when I bought it. I'll take get the specs when I get home from work. I don't have any adjustable components so it'll be whatever the lowering did.
