Went to commercial tire to get an aligment after installing coilovers.

They gave me the regular alignment as far as toe and caster but they left my rear wheels at -3° camber and my front at -.5°

My question is for a beginner learning to drift will this give me negative effects?

Shouldn't it be the opposite with the negative camber up front?

Do you have adjustable arms in the back? They can't do magic you know...

Also you should consider giving them input into what you want if you don't want a factory alignment.

you need to get yourself a pair of rucas asap. youll have some uneven tire wear, but if you have camber plates in front and tension rods, next time you go for an alignment and talk to a tech who is good at his alignments, tell him you want it set up with (-) camber in the front and you want (+) 0 or (-) 1 in the back, the front is up to you, i used to run my buddies race set up which was (-) 3 in the front and 0 out back. i had adjustable though, so just save yourself the time and hassle and get some rucas. he gave you the toe and go and also one of these :fawk2:, next time pull him aside and tell him how you want it set up or go to a specialty alignment shop.
