    Thank you for asking this. I was looking at my rear drivers side the other day and noticed it looked strange. No idea what the gas level was.

    Rear camber angle is quite high for stock geometry - more so if you drop. Hence you really should get an alignment if you lower your car and you also should not neglect regular tire rotation (either rear left-to-right or same-side front-to-back) or you'll have premature tire camber wear.

    keep in mind our cars have no adjustment bolt for rear camber! our camber links are fixed!

    If your car is stock and the camber is equal side to side, don't worry about it. Every car on the road has it, you need it to handle properly.
