Alignment question

Once I lowered the front of my car I can no longer get the camber back to spec. What can easily be done to offset this without camber boxes?

Thanks

how much is it lowered based on using stock tire diameter ?

It's lowered approx. 1/2" so I was able to just use the rack spacers for bump steer.

What are RSR Spindles?

Thanks

I'm not sure of your numbers but I was able to tweak the front with the help of the strut brace. I guess your slightly negative from stock settings ?

The camber is -1.8 and -1.3 deg. in the front, which could be ok since I have the old OE rubber bushings in the A Arms and the struts. Then I just have to set the tire pressure.

Some filing of the holes at the strut top will give you a little more range of adjustment, maybe 1/4 degree. If you need more, you can get offset camber plates which are good for about 3/4 degree additional.

Thanks guys, I will have to see if any of this is worth doing since my car runs and drives fine. Just want to be proactive if it could lead to trouble.
