rear camber ok?
before i start, i have adjustable springs and a rear camber kit.
so i decided to raise the car a little so its half finger gap all around. i also toggled with the rear camber kit so it sits just very little negative. enough so it doesnt touch the fender when i have 4 passengers in the car
so i wanted to ask ppls advice and input if the camber in my rear is ok to drive around as a daily driving? i would've finished my work and adjusted the camber while i was adjusting the springs but it got dark and my back was sore like a ****. so let me know if this setting for the rear camber seems alright for daily driving? if no, how much positive should i adjust it? thanks!

Any camber setting is fine. It is just your tires that will pay. That looks like -1.5 to -2 degrees. I would personally bring it in a little more to save your tires. Get it professionally aligned sometime.

Rep Power: 276 would it be a good idea to get an alginment done eventhough i adjust my springs every other month or so? i heard rumors by jacking up ur car or adjusting the height will set off your alignment/toe/etc?
so after i adjust the rear camber so its more positive, i just find a shop and they'll take care of it and know what their doing? (reputable shop that is)

Rep Power: 327 toe out of spec = RAPID tire wear. Camber out of spec will = long term wear typically. And any ride height change at all and you should have the alignment checked
