Default A bad alignment?

Well, I purchased RCE springs, back in the winter.

I had the springs in for maybe 2 weeks and decided before autox season and for the sake of my tires to go and have an alignment done.

On another forum in the tri-state section a member (who I know) suggests to go to this shop near by. They work on Porsches, mainly.

The alignment takes them, forever. I literally had to rush out of there to make it to class which is closeby but started in 15 mins. I didnt get to look at the printout right away, (I did in class, lol).

The rear camber was -2.2. Which to me seems to be WAY to much. I mean I know that rear camber isn't adjustable/etc etc. But, how did the get -2.2.
Front camber is -1.2.

This is my main concern. Why do I have so much rear camber? Its very obvious by just eyeballing the car.



Mods that matter:
Rce springs
Group N tophats.

eurotire?

Yea rear camber isn't adjustable and is going to depend on how much you are lowered. I'm running -2.2 camber in the rear as well.

No, BodyMotion in Ocean Township NJ. Monmouth County.

-2.6 front and i have Ohlins Sportline coilovers (camber plates in front, no way of camber adjustment in the rear). -2.2 rear isn't that bad in general, but someone with more experience can tell you whether that much of a discrepency from front to rear is bad or not.

I autox the heck out of the car. It still feels super solid. Ive also ran my buddies sti with prodrive springs at the time and ran the same exact time. I dont think the camber is hurting the performance, just curios to why I have so much in the rear?
