Hey guys I got my SPC camber kit installed by Amplified Motorsports today and they did a great job.. As soon as they were done, I took my car to the shop near AM and got it cambered -4.0..

When I was driving on the freeway, I felt like I was just barely making any contact on the pavement? And my steering wheel got pretty sensitive.. I was not going more than 70 mph from LA to SD.. It had that fish-tail scenery feeling..

IT FEELS REALLY UNSAFE DRIVING. ESPECIALLY TOMORROW RAINING .

If you guys can help me out, that would be cool.

Do you think I should get my local Firestone shop to check whats up if the guy did my alignment correctly?

did they do a full alignment with toe and caster

Did it feel like a slight twitch of the steering wheel made the rear follow with a snappy/fishy sensation? Like the rear was loose?

"description of labor";
2 rear wheel alignment
Only camber rear -4.0
Costomer request

Does that mean.. He ony set my camber at -4.0 and did not align the toe and caster?

I dropped my sedan on Eibachs and pre-alignment the car felt so good. Post alignment I've got those same symptoms.

Do you realize that -4.0 degree camber is not normal? Which could cause your tires to "barely make any contact on the pavement".

i wanted -4 because i wanted the look. i am probably going firestone tomorrow and get -2.5 camber instead of 4.. hopefully it will fix my problem?

Looks like it, but it probably isn't. Your load is going to be mainly in the inside portion of your tires, causing that weird driving symptoms.

um still dont understand if they adjusted the caster and toe like a normal alignment, i understand they did camber but he prolly was at almost 2.5 or more with the drop....maybe im way off but in the job desc. it just say adjust camber -4

well i took it to firestone, they did not want to work on it because i cannot get up on their alignment rack.. and said if i go -2.5, i may have rubbing issue.

then took it to evans tire, told me the same thing also..

now im stuck with -4, until i find a shop that will do my car -2.5..
