my rear is rubbing because i have low offset wheels. and the alignment made it worse. so i want to go back to what i had originally -2 degrees camber in the rear.

i dont want to go back to the alignment shop because that wasted my time and charged me a lot for just alignment.

so i was thinking is to get negative camber, i can always just reinstall the tein basic coilovers i have in the rear and it will be negative again since thats how it got negative camber in the first place by taking out the stock suspension? or is this simply too easy to be true?

are there other cheap ways to get negative camber?

 

low setting on the coilovers will do it

 

How bad is the tire wear with 2 degrees of camber?

 

it isn't, toe kills tires, camber is barely an issue with tire wear. Now, if you had 5 degrees of negative camber, I could see the issue there. 2 degrees is not a problem at all, you could even go as far as 2.4-2.5 in the rear, but you will notice corner-wear on the tires compared to not doing it, but it's negligible.

Negative camber to try and alleviate the problem with having the wrong size wheels for the car is a bad idea, you should roll your fender in the rear to generate more clearance, it's a DIY thing if you're careful, performance shops charge a bit to get it done if they have a roller. If you already have, camber is the next best bet, if that still can't work, you need to put properly sized wheels on the car.

Negative camber is literally turning a bolt on the rear of the car, with or without any aftermarket suspension components. All you need to do is turn, measure, switch corners, turn, measure, switch sides, etc etc - the only downside is you need to know how to measure the angles, hence why shops get paid to do it from people who don't know how. Read a book on it, look online, or whatever, that is if you want to save the $100 to get it aligned again. If not, take it to a shop and tell them how many degrees of camber in the back you want and pay the $100.
