So if you have up front (drivers side) -1.4 then the drivers side rear should be 0.3 difference which places it at -1.1. Same would go for the passenger side, whatever the non adjustable front is then minus 0.3 and you get your setting for the rear camber. Therefore no matter what the fronts are reading on camber the rears would be 0.3 difference on both sides on the rear.


As far as the 0.3 degrees difference goes, thats about normal for a front engine rear drive street car. The reason you need more negative camber up front....that's because the car has a front biased weight distribution (as front engine cars usually do). That means that in corners, the front is going to have more inertia than the rear, so it will fight you a bit when you are turning. That means that it will want to understeer slightly. To fight that tendency, we add a little more camber up front than in the rear.

It's only a suggestion as it appears you have a grip on the issue and a sound plan of attack to resolve it. Don't mind my yammering, I am still learning this stuff and I know you have more knowledge and experience.
So as to not throw a monkey wrench into it, I will gracefiully bow out and listen and learn.
That's far too upright for the front, and especially the rears. I'm thinking about running 2.1-5 out back and 2.8+ up front. I'm probably running a more aggressive setup than most though.
