Default noob question about adjusting camber

Okay, this definetly applies to you crazy offset running people.

If you are running some pretty extreme offsets in the rear and are pretty low, how much negative camber are you running? What is a "safe" amount. I know it will affect handling, and cause more wear, but there is still a safe amount i would assume.

Also, here comes the noob part.................how do i adjust it? Do i have to take it to an alignment place and tell them what i want it set at?

very noob question......if you have to ask how to adjust it....dont try to do your own camber setup. Take it to a shop to do it. Dont know where you live but i've heard many good things about this guy who does aggresive camber set ups, forgot his name though. Anyone wanna let him know? his a guy in Cali

-2.5F -3.5R camber, i used to have -4 rear but toned it down because i was getting a lil understeer.

tire wear isnt an issue you get the same miles out of the tire if not more when u flip flop them @ about half tread. u can only flipflop directional tires.. ;-)

You will only be able to adjust the camber so far. At that point you will need a camber kit. Keep in mind the more negative camber you run the quicker the tires are going to wear on the inside shoulder.
