Alignment help
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
I recently installed my BC RSD coilovers, and took it in for an alignment, and the highest they could get the rear camber was to -3.1
The car is not slammed but significantly lower than stock, can I achieve a 1.5/2.0 camber by simply raising the car up about 3/4"??
My main concern is tire life!
Here are the detailed specs:
FRONT
L R
Camber= -1.4 -1.5
Toe= 0.01 0.00
REAR
L R
Camber= -2.9 -3.1
Toe= 0.05 0.04

The lower you go without any other modifications, the more negative your minimum camber angle will be. You never told us how low you are from stock -- but a 3/4" raise will help your camber goals -- as to how much we can only speculate.
Orlando at AutoInnovations and the guys there will get you to your goal, if it is possible.

More aggressive alignments like Justin and I's alignments (I'm guessing nearly -3 in the rear, and -2 in the front with a bit of rear toe) -- will give you a noticeable amount of inside wear when street driven and not driven too hard on a daily basis. The outside tread doesn't see as much wear as the inside tread. However it's not as bad as it sounds, by the time you've worn down the inside tread, the outside tread is past the wear bars anyways.
