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!

first of all you need RUCA's to adjust your rear camber if you want it any less, theyre maxed out for sure

2nd of all its not the camber wearing the tires, its the toe...look at how far out of whack your toe is, thats whats doing it

ahh, yes. I was told the same thing from the guys at the shop.... "your tires are wearing too quickly because of the excessive toe and NOT the camber." Keep in mind though, they already aligned the car and the new toe was well within the factory specs. I don't know if you have the factory specs on hand (but I do)..... and it is clear that my new toe is perfectly fine within the factory specs, yet I'm still receiving the same wear (just to a lesser degree). I understand that RUCA's will be needed but many say its only if the car is lowered a certain amount because the stock setup can handle a certain amount of lowering. I guess I'll ask when I see them soon about whether or not my camber settings are maxed out or not. Thanks for the feedback!
