Super negative camber

Hey guys,
quick question, i have a negative rear camber of -2.5 on the left and -2.4 on the right.. I just got the car aligned yesterday and thank god i got the 3 year unlimited aligment plan. The shop told me that they aligned everything in the front and all of my toes are perfect, should i get a rear camber kit? If so what should be a decent charge for this labor?

Thanks in advance

(i did a search, but i have not ran into any one with such a negative camber)

ummm.. if you would like to adjust and fix that camber, then yes.. its pretty common knowledge that when you lower a car to a certain extent that you will need to get a camber kit to correct it..

My rear camber is identical to yours. Just keep your tires rotated every 2500, 3000 miles. Been driving with mine like this for 3 years. Although camber does wear tires, it doesn't wear nearly as bad as toe.

Some camber doesnt wear tires, what you have will. I would highly suggest installing the camber kit, esp on the rears and have the rear adjusted to something closer to stock specs. You wont have as much wear and wont have to rotate your tires every 2k to help slow down the wear.
