Car Alignment... argh

[Vidra]

ok, so heres the deal. My S13 (with coilovers) was aligned back at the end of april because the rear had excessive toe-in and negative camber (I shaved the **** outta my tires over the course of like 5k miles). So, now I'm experiencing the same problem again (excessive wear on the inside halfs of the rear tires). This really pisses me off but luckily the wear is not nearly severe as before, but is still definitely evident. I received two sheets of paper with readings... one sheet appears to be the before adjustment and the other is after. Before having the car aligned the specs were...Camber- LF: .4, RF: -.3, LR: -2.4, RR: -1.8Toe- LF: -.20, RF: .41, LR: .87, RR: .29After having the car aligned back in the spring my camber in the rear was...Camber- LF: .4, RF: -.3, LR: -2.3, RR: -1.8Toe- LF: .03, RF: .06, LR: .14, RR: .19As before in the spring, I've noticed more wear produced on the RR tire. I am about to purchase a pair of expensive new tires and I can't have this bull**** continue... The car having tires installed at the same place as it was aligned (and it is a reputable shop where they work on alot of tuner cars and stuff) so I'm thinking about asking them to reduce the negative camber even more (unfortunately I specifically told them to fix that in the first place!). I realize that many people don't even have negative camber wear that are running much more than me! I don't get it! BTW, how low can I have the rear before its out of adjusting range for the camber (keeping in mind that I have stock control arms). THANKS!

thats a little to much -camber you need to either raise the car up ar get adjustable control arms and get that camber to at leas a -1 wich is still gonna give you some uneven tire wear but better handling and as long as you keep up with your rotation you should get way much more than 5K out of a tire. And dont forget the more expensive your tires are the faster their gonn awear because they use a softer rubber compoun for better grip. Take this advise from an aligner and tire tech thats been drifting for almos 4yrs. I used to align my s13 like once a month .
