Default not enough camber :(

I yanked all my shims out, then drove to the alignment shop.
very disappointed.
driver side front 1/2 degree negative (yeah, just -0.5 )
passenger side 1.3 degrees negative. *
* and that is only because the camber brace is pulling in on the passenger side frame rail a bit. otherwise I would have less than 1 degree -camber.

front is stock ride height and staying stock. I guess I have to mill down the driver side spacer??? or get a slim spacer and put it under the front bolt. but then I lose castor.

I was aiming for -2.0 degrees all around. the rear is no problem. but the front is just not happening.

interesting, after he did the rear, the front castor increased without changing it physically. I think because dailing in -2.0 of rear camber made the rear sit a tad lower.

Doing the toe to vettebrakes specs is a whole nother deal and I'll write about it later. :U
