CAMBER HELP!!-(repost in order to get more feedback)
SO heres the dilemna... Tires are wearin' way too quickly on the inside so I went to get an alignment only to find that i've got about -3.20 camber in the rear so they said i wouldn't be able to do anything for me.
I've got sprint-tech springs on stock shocks with about a 2" drop...aftermarket rims-- 18" 8.5 with 40 offset... 245-40-18 Dunlop Direzza's
Question 1- How the hell is my camber so bad compared to others with the same drop that are only seeing a -2.00 camber.
Question 2- What is the CHEAPEST way to get less negative camber...cuz i do NOT feel like spending $700 on adjustable control arms. Would full coilovers help? (mind you i'd still keep it at an agressive drop..and i the money would be more worth it then the control arms). Would spacers affect the camber at all?
I'm in no way or form proficient with suspension so before anyone says anything, i searched and found little bits and pieces...but nothing tailored to my exact dilemna so PLEASE... constructive input appreciated

You probably can get less negative camber. The shop probably saw that you were lowered and just said "hey we can't get it any better" because they can't get it within the specs of a stock car. Take a picture of the camber adjustment bolts and post them and we can tell you if you can reduce the camber. If you can get it down to -2.5 or less and set the toe to zero then you should be ok. The important number is to get the toe angle to zero.
