You should really just take it to an alignment shop since you will never know just by looking at it. If there is anything to adjust it, it would be on the upper or lower control arms. If you're getting bad uneven tire wear it's most likely your toe then camber.

You'll have to buy RUCAs (rear upper camber/control arms)if you want to adjust the camber to 0. When you lower a car that is what happens. If you have over 2 degrees you are not going to be able to adjust it on the stock camber arms. Negative camber lets you handle better anyway so just leave it alone! Haha.

Your RUCAs will look something like this:



Don't buy cheap-o RUCAs, they're one suspension arm you want to make sure you spend the money on as it isn't just threaded together, there are welds involved.

thanks wishihadasilvia i wanted to know if i had to by anything before i took it to the alignment shop. I like the handling aspect but at 200 bucks a piece for my rear tires i dont like it that much.

anyone have any links to a quality but not outrageously priced set of these?

also would this be a terrible thing to get on ebay like these?

The difference with rear camber arms is there is welding though. I've heard the megan RUCAs are crap, as are the other cheap-o RUCAs. There are some cheap nice ones on Zilvia right now. They're not the greatest design, but are made for really low cars - I think they're called Powered by Max and are like 190-200 shipped...unless you want to spend 380 shipped on some new Kazamas....I'll have to sell my wheels I just bought for the price I want to get those. I want to get either Kazamas or Cusco arms. They're built completely different from all the cheap brands.

Also, it is toe more then camber that effects tire wear more.

Also those RUCAs I posted up there are S13 ones...not really sure why I did that. Kazama/Cusco S14 rucas look like this:
