SPC rear camber adjustment

I got my car aligned after I installed the camber kit, but the dealer did not know I had a kit installed. Luckily my front kits are within spec on the first try, but I found my rear to be 0.9 degrees positive. Does anyone know how many turns I have to make on the SPC kit to get 1 degree of negative adjustment?

Didn't know??? I guess they didn't even look at the rears? It's quite obvious. You can't really judge the camber on a number of turns. You can only I ball it. How did you get a postive camber anyway? If they were installed correctly, you should have a negative camber.

I added about 4 turns to the stock length of the SPC kit. I heard about 3 turns gets you a degree, but I wanted to confirm this.

Yeah, I'm not really sure. I just did mine by trial and error.

Take the car back and tell them they did not adjust to rear correctly ... They probaby did not look that you had an ajustable arm. They should do it for free!

I would take it back, but the acura dealer says that adjusting camber is an extra $30 fee. I've adjusted the rear camber by 2 threads for now.

That's complete BS. I would definitely go to a different dealer or just a tire shop that does allignments.

Did you just get a front-end allignment? Or a four-wheel allignment

That is BS ... that is part of what an alignment is. I defintatly bitch the the service manager, sales manager, who ever the hell is there! WTF ... it takes an extra 90 seconds to adjust both arms so extra $30. Stand up for yourself, don't put up with that BS!

How much did they charge you for an alignment in the first place?
