How bad is it if i were to leave the front right camber @ -2.3?
Not bad at all.

The mechanic that installed the springs will inspect the front right components for me on Wednesday. Crossing my fingers hoping there's something he can just adjust without me ordering the adjustable camber arms.

As for your front camber, mine was off by only .5 from left to right, and I didn't like the way the car felt. Yours is off by a full 1 degree, which is far too much. Plus, you may have a bent susupension component, which is causing the excessive negative camber in the first place. So I think you need to do some investigation.

FWIW, I got aftermarket front camber arms, and I am running -2.0 degrees of front camber left and right, and the car certainly feels much better. -2.3 degrees of front camber is a lot for a street-driven car, especially when the other side is only -1.3 degrees.
