    So last summer when the frame shop was no help I just slotted the driver's shock tower holes and was good to go.

    Since then I did the LS swap and changed subframes, thought I had the front end set for 2.4* drivers 2.6* passengers.

    Last night I did a full spring/shock change and raised the ride height a tiny bit then used my new laser level to set up a level pad in the garage using tiles and 2x4s. New reading is 2.4* driver and 3.8* passenger. The wheels "look" the same from before, and I think my post swap reading was suspect, but will try to recheck this weekend with someone else's camber gauge.
    3.8* is a lot and pretty much impossible on a 4th gen, and the driver's 2.4* doesn't really "look" like 2.4.

    The subframe on 4th gens is bolted into floating captured nuts, so there is a ton of room for it to move side to side and a little front/back when loose.

    If I feel like the passenger wheel is burning up the inside, I may use use the porta power to slide the subframe over to the driver's side to try even out the camber. The passenger wheel looks like it is set back a little which would give it less caster and more camber as well so maybe the subframe needs to come forward a little on that side as well.

    I can bring my digital level, toeplates and camber tool. 3.8 I think would be visible

    Lol, the wheel that has 3.8 is the one that hit Randy I think. We both gained

    Randy I saw that you race a while back, did you finally get it to the frame shop?

    He's still dragging his feet. I keep pestering him about it but he seems to love that camber.
