This is for street? I'd take half of the rear camber out. The dynamic camber adds enough. I like 0 toe all around but a little in the back keeps it tame on the street. I'm surprised you don't have more front camber after the Swifts but you don't have adjustable fronts.

What you have there is just fine.

With 305's on the rear, I adjusted to -1.2 rear camber.... can't afford new meat every summer!

Yeah fix toe and rear camber.

Did the guy even adjust front toe? I see its in spec but it just annoys me if I see a difference. It's like he saw its in spec but not equal and just said **** it, its fine.

Takjak i have similar camber in the front after swifts. My tires are an inch smaller than OEM so maybe that's why.

Yes, that for DD.
That was at firestone tire shop.I was not expecting much.

When the tires get bald, going to get new wheels and tires,(thinking 255 and 305),them, will take the car to a race shop where they did my other car.

DID not expected too much from the Firestone mechanic.

255/305? You need more front or less rear. I only say it because you asked for an "expert" opinion and you're going to a race shop next time. Seems like you want a little more than just a DD. If you have a 9" front a 275 will be nicer.

I have 275 front and 305 rear. Awesome combo.

it's not bad. the toe angle difference is a tad rough, but if the car runs fine i'd keep it.
