Alignment Spec Question

I read through a fair amount of these threads, and checked my alignment specs from today. My specs were pretty much in line with others that I have seen posted, but noticed at the top of the page they used the specs from a car with an 18" wheel. I didn't think this would affect things too much, but figured I would post the sheet here for some feedback.

Also, I am not all too familiar with setting alignment specs on a lowered car. I know the front camber is not adjustable, other than as the ride height increases or decreases. As you can see they set the rear camber at -1.4 degrees, which is in the range specified. Is there an advantage to setting more negative rear camber if the front is not also able to be adjusted?

there really isn't any advantage unless you're doing it for wheel clearance. sticking to the suggested range is probably the best route if your wheels fit fine.

I thought so as well, like I said this is a little new to me as I have never lowered in the past. Thanks for your comments in the other thread.

Just want to make sure everything is good to to now that I have my new PS4S mounted up. Don't want to be buying a new set of those again anytime soon... Already got a screw in one of the rears a week after they were put on. Swapped it out with a new one so I actually bought 5, haha

extra unnecessary negative camber just creates camber wear on your tires (only the inside wears). so going more positive is actually in your interest if it's in your suggested range.
