Default coilovers installed... questions.

ijust got my car back from the shop after getting my coilovers installed. Everything looks good except for the rear drivers side wheel has loads of negative camber as opposed to the rear passenger side. What is causing this? I had them install a full kmac kit with the coilovers so i thought that would take care of my camber issues. Is this something that just needs to settle in or do I need to take it back up to the shop?

need to wait a few days to let the car settle then take the car in for a 4wheel alignment.

they did the alignment after the install. i questioned them on if we should wait a few days and they told me it won't really settle enough to make a difference. wtf.

if they did an alignment and 1 of your rear wheels is showing more camber then the other, they didn't do it right.

thats what i thought. it is a huge difference. i'm taking it back up there ina few minutes. the front drivers side is also sitting quite a bit lower than the front passenger side and the rear is sittinghigher than the front. i'm getting pretty pissed of.

yeah they are adjustable stasis/koni coilovers.

fixed. thanks for the input.

one question; will the rear settle down any with time? the rear is sitting a little higher than the front end and i don't know if i should just lower it a little this weekend or wait and see if it settles down any.

as I said before. give it a few days to settle and then make your adjustments...

remember if you adjust too much in either direction and you'll need another alignment.
