Ok thanks, I missed that. Are those for increasing neg camber for handling or to correct for a more factory or street performance for a vehicle thats as low as mine? I’m sorry for the questions I just want to make sure I’m being done right by this shop, I’m not mechanical at all, lol, thanks again

The eccentric on the bolts is larger than stock so it allows a wider range of adjustment. For a car that's slammed it lets you remove the excess negative camber for a longer lasting tire or harder launch at the strip with optimal tire patch contact. Same for the toe bolt, more adjustability to get it where you want.

If you had a road race car you wouldn't care you had a ton of neg camber since turning is more important that launching.

You will only experience increased wear on the outer edge and subpar handling from positive camber in front. Something else is wrong if tire parts are flying.

You can buy extended range adjusters for the rear which will help.

The front can have the holes slotted slightly but your car is just slammed. Camber plates just replace the top piece of the strut to tower and are a 20 minute install if you know what you're doing. They can help with camber but not toe. The guy shouldn't have an issue with toe up front even though he did.

exactly what i was thinking. if they cant even get the toe right, what the heck did you pay for? most shops that have an alignment rack dont even know what the machine is for lol. they poke and turn at crap until some of the red goes away lol. then they give you your keys and charge ya 100 bucks. i can get closer than that with a tape measure and two pieces of angle iron.
the car looks good that low. praise the lowered. it could cause some issues running it like that long term. maybe raise it back up half an inch, find you a good alignment guy that can do a center out on all measurements, not a total measurement.

I hade it raise .75 on an inch and got a good alignment out of it, I’m very happy with it and it still looks good

it does look good man. my old track mule just got a raise. i scored some Z28 springs and shocks and they raised it a little over my 1le shocks and lowering springs. anyone want some 1LE shocks cheap?

Off topic, are you running any camber plates with the Z/28 stuff? I am also running the Z stuff, I had the first gen Moreno camber plates and the raised the ride height and made the Z stuff sit higher at the front than the rear.

im running the Pegasus plates. i dont think they raise it any in the front.
