Hey guys im am about to have my struts converted to coilover. ive had a suspension alignment check done, and my camber is slightly uneven, about .1*- on one side and .6*- on the other, so about a half a degree differance. i am thinking this is possibly due to a slight differance in stub axle angle.
Is this within tolerance, or should i maybe pick up another pair of struts before i go to the trouble of having them converted?
the man at fulcrum was of the oppinion that thats ok, anyone else? the car is also in need of some new lower control arm bushes, so i guess some of the problem (if it is one) may be there.
ill also have camber ajustable strut tops eventually.
any oppinions appreciated

most road cars will run about a half degree extra on the left (passenger side) so as to counter road camber

If you're adding adjustment (which I'd hope you are if you're spending that much!) then I doubt it's likely to be too much of an issue...

spending how much? i think i "might" maybe top 300 bux for my whole coilover setup.
but yes i will be adding ajustable strut tops once money permits.
