Camber

[andrew.stearns]

So I have noticed that the front tires are wearing pretty hard on the inside edge of the tire, I took it to have the alignment checked out and it shows -1.4 and -1.5 for the camber on the front and is within spec. I have 16900 miles on the car. Should my tires be wearing like that already? I have been looking at the SPC camber bolts now so I can square the tire up, I drive the car on the weekends and around town, I dont track it at all. What are yall's thoughts on this?

That's an aggressive alignment for the street and is the reason for the inside wear. You should be around -1.0 in the front.

The purpose of the SPC camber bolts is to allow for more camber than the OEM setup allows. They aren't used to lessen camber.

Go do a track day to even out the wear.

Take it back to the dealer and raise hell

There is nothing to raise hell about as that camber setting is close to nominal and within spec.

16900 miles is a very reasonable amount for summer tires on a performance car. I got 11k on my first set.

Your experience is normal operation. If you reduce front camber your car is going to have reduced turn in performance and general sluggishness.

FWIW, if you want to decrease inner shoulder wear, check and reduce toe.
