How are these alignment settings?

I have a 01 S Tip, now with Eibach Pro springs, so far car has no track time , so street use.

Too much camber = chew rear tires extra fast!

Rear camber is adjusted to the limit, not sure about front.

Although the rear negative camber will cause accelerated rear tire wear (inside edge) in street driving, I am more worried about the rear toe. One degreee of toe-in is a HUGE amount, and it is grossly outside the specifications. That toe setting will eat the outer edges of your tires very quickly. Do not leave it like that! If they have to re-adjust the rear camber to a more negative value in order to get the toe back in specification, they should do it. Your "before" readings indicate that should be feasible.

If you want to run the car with these springs on the street, you should consider investing in some of the aftermarket adjustible suspension links that will allow rear camber to be reduced while keeping rear toe at a reasonable value.

I concur with Blue-S to an extent. The person doing the alignment obviously sacrificed toe in the rear to get the camber down to something more reasonable. I think this was a poor choice. Negative camber will have an impact on tire wear, but will not negatively impact handling. In fact, more negative camber is very desireable with racing. Too much toe on the other hand could make your handling worse. I do my own alignments with my lowered cars (coil over systems). I pretty much adjust the rear to get the toe perfect and then just let the camber fall where it does (as long as it's balanced, no more than 0.1 degree difference side to side). I don't really care if I have 2.5 to 3.0 degrees of negative camber. I can buy more tires and enjoy the good handling for now.

If you want it perfect for a street setup, then you'll probably need adjustable toe arms (I like Tarett) to get both the camber and toe right.

The front looks fine to me. You can't really get less negative camber than -1 with lowering springs.

Thanks. Tarett price is a little steep for me right now. Do you know anybody else that makes them?
