Wheel allignment question
I just got my 88TII alligned today. Here are my results....
Drivers Side / Pass. Side
FRONT / FRONT
Caster: 3.2 Caster: 4.0
Camber: -2.0 Camber: -0.6
Toe: -13/16" Toe: -3/8"
REAR REAR
Camber: -1.7 Camber: -2.0
Toe: 5/32" Toe: 3/16"
I guess my question is......as you can see my camber is fubared, and they are adjusted fully. What is the best way to fix the camber......other than dremeling out the shock tower holes?
P.S.....My car was in an collision and this is why the car is getting alligned.

Checked it all. I replaced the control arm and lower ball joint where the impact was at, just to be safe nothing was bent (the lower ball joint was bent) Would adjustable camber plates correct the allignment for the camber?

Rotate the strut tower tops to get the FRONT camber to even out.
You CANNOT use camber plates to negate the rear camber - I'd be worried about the REAR camber more than the front.
Too much rear camber hurts tire wear (duh) and acceleration.
I think your FRONT toe is fucked.
Running that much toe out makes the car really twitchy at speed.
Dial in a LITTLE toe in for the front to make the car more stable at speed.
