as 4 ur infomation. . . .
camber is not easy 2 mis-alig as there's 2 screw[which u all call it camber after changing it] bolted in real solid tight n there's not way it'll out of alig unless u change absorber or had an accident on ur wheel there... there's no need 2 adjust camber everytime u rotate or do aligment... jus did normal adjusting on da toe in/out will do. . .
unless u're da type of agresive driver like me jus put it ard -0.7 to -1.2 n ur toe set 2 zero
but if u're not an agresive driver like me but u wan stability on da road on high speed then ur camber should b ard -0.6 to -1.0 n toe in by 1.0 to 1.8
i've never put less than -0.5 camber 4 my car as it's very floaty on high speed n cornering not stabil enuf

For stability it should be toe out and not toe-in. Toe in would give you a more accurate turning feedback but unstable on the straights. Toe-out would give you stability on the straights as the steering will always try to go back to straight position. The best setting should be zero toe to minimise tyre scrubbing and extend tyre wear. As for camber, it depends on the suspension settings. Softer suspension will require less static camber since the car rolls on the soft suspension creating more variable camber. Stiffer suspension does not this issue and can work with more static camber.

recommended by forumer and i did went there, true, the first tyre shop that told me chamber can be adjust, no need change.

That would only mean that your car already has an adjustable camber screw. By default most cars comes with a straight camber screw which cannot adjust the camber without first changing the screw.

Camber nut need alwis change one meh?

I just install 1 time only,then other time just adjust using that nut only ~

With negative camber around 1-1.5 Deg,genting hill climb become much fun without understeer  thumbup.gif

Here's where the one bad apple spoils the whole basket story comes true. For most cars out of the factory do not have adjustable camber screw. Most also have very little negative camber and will cause the tyre to wear out the outsides faster. However, some workshops take advantage of this and con the customer to change the screw all the time.
