Question
 
Just got my Stillen oil cooler, camber kit, H&R springs and spacers installed. Shop didnt have time to do alignment and i had no choice but to take it home for the night. So my question is with the camber kit installed and no alignment should the rear wheels be wayyy off and going different directions???

I would wait 1 to 2 weeks then get an alignment. The springs/ rubber should settle by then. Your tires should be fine until then.

no man u dont understand! i have the left rear wheels facing right and right its the opposite and it looks retarded!! Like a salvage car with a jacked up frame! They kept tellin me it was the camber but i dont know. The steering wheel is a 2 o'clock when going straight and feels like its going to break when i drive

Negative camber is fine. If the car is out of alignment, go get one done. the settling is not that much anyways.

get it aligned.......... pdq

i do expect negative camber but each wheel has a different angle so it just pretty bad. When i make a 90 degree the vdc kicks in....even when im just going about 3 to 5mph

Your "Toe" adjustment is probably way off. You should have that fixed asap.

Why don't you take a picture so we can see what you're talking about.

Alignment isn't too expensive so you should get one if it makes you feel better. Your alignment shouldn't be noticeable if they installed your camber kit correctly, which is to make it the same length as your oem ones. I've changed out my suspensions twice and the wheels never looked weird, even though after I got my alignment I found out one toe was positive and the other toe was negative.

Post up the Shop name with these Retards that did the Work, to Warn other People to stay the fuk away... It's always good to ask of shops close to you that do this kind of work on a regular basis. this sounds like this was the dudes first day on the job... Sorry to hear this but it is an easy fix. Again can you post some pics to see what it looks like?

Save follower Z and other car owners, post up the shop name. They should have a pride in their works.
