i have tein front/jic rear coilovers ... cusco camber plates in the front....and some generic ebay RUCA's in the back

currently i have the front camber set as far negative as it will go without hitting the strut tower. has anyone gone the extra step and cut portions of the strut tower out to allow full adjustment with the camber plates... is weakness an issue when this is done? I figure with the camber wear i have now...might aswell go all out for track days and such.

IN the rear.....i must have atleast -4 degrees of camber....i currently only have the right RUCA installed....im lazy... once i get both of them on.....is -.5 a unresonable request for whom ever will do my alignment? im going to the shop in hayward...apparently normal shops dont do alignment on lowered cars.

I have a normal shock/spring setup. KYB AGX's with Sustec springs. About a 1.8 inch drop all around with cusco rear control arms and when I lowered the car I had quite a bit of negative camber as well and believe it or not Sears did a great job aligning my car and they even give you a 3,000 mile/90 warranty. I got my car aligned twice and they even installed my springs for me at no extra cost. This was when I was in Raleigh NC. Depends on the area you live in. If lowered cars are common, than Sears will serve common place customers. Just gotta find someone thats not a lazy bastard.
