    is 2 degree off for camber bad?

    I am picking up car lowered with kW coil over. Audi says less 2 degree off camber in front. Is this gonna cause bad tire wear? Is it worth it to get stern camber kit? Or will jjust more tire rotations be sufficient? He says rear is factory speç. Thanks

    2 degrees is very bad. rotating tires will just cause you to have 4 bad tires rather than 1. get an alignment. if it can't be aligned, get a camber kit.

    ok some more info:

    the copy of the alignment shows specified range for front is -1.36 to -0.5

    my left after is -2.06 ( so -.7 off) and right is -1.59 (-.2 off).

    caster and toe are within specifications. rear has everything within specs.

    this was done at audi dealer.

    no you're fine... i got my car aligned with me in the car and came within very similar tolerances... you wont see excessive wear at -2 degrees

    you obviously aren't speaking from experience so be quiet.

    just run 0 toe and you will be fine.

    I'm also at ~2 all around with no excessive (though slight) inner tire wear. Swap front and rears at every oil change and you'll be even better off.
