      No, it should not be corrected. Unless you're a fucking retard and lowered your car for looks.

        yeah because -3 degrees of camber in the rear is great for handling...

            i have h&r race springs and my rear wheels have a ton of negative camber. more then i would like. when i my car was stock i even noticed it. if you want alot of negative camber then just put coil overs on and don't get camber plates

                and a rear camber kit, id leave the front and fix the rear first.

                    Then don't go that low. That said, -3 isn't really THAT much. I ran -5 front at an autoX once and honestly loved the turn-in. It was too much though, around 3 is probably ideal. I run 1-2ish on the street for wear purposes but when I kept it like that for an ADSS it pushed like a bastard.

                      Looks real cool but unless you like buying tires every year or more your going to be disappointed.

                        -3 isn't much for the front, no, but on the back it sucks. especially since you gain even more when the suspension compresses, about 1 degree for every inch. not so in the front, where the camber curve is much flatter, and you need more static camber because of that.

                        the easy way to reduce camber in the rear without putting in adjustments is to raise the subframe. that brought me from -2.5 to -2.0 which is perfect (for me).

                        also just saying you need lots of camber isn't helpful. what actually is helpful is measuring temperatures across the face of the tire so you know exactly how much you need to get the most out of your tires. On my car, that happens to be about -2.7 up front and -2.0 in the back. More isn't neccesarily better.

                              Camber doesnt cause tread wear, unless you combine it with toe.


                              You need a special tool, called a slant tool. lol

                                Camber arms?
