The GE can get around -1.5 degrees of camber with a single bolt in the lower strut hole up front. With two bolts, top and bottom, more will be possible If your going to get that much alignment done, make sure to have the front toe set to zero.

Its a CHEAP investment that improves looks, handling AND tire wear. If you lower a stock GE AT ALL, you WILL end up with positive camber in the front

Well, I have twice now seen a GE go with a "mild drop" on Swift springs get very slight positive camber before the alignment.

hummm... interesting. my GE's running swifts and did not get positive camber. i had the shop do a pre-measure before the camber rods and it was still -0.6 or -0.5 or something.

anyway, the spc bolts i got them dialed into -1.5

I've seen them with wacky toe out settings after a drop but not particularly positive camber. That's just weird, usually by design cars I've dealt with negative cambers with drop, mine is stock suspension by looking from the front the front looks almost positive camber 0.9 while rear looks like negative 0.8 camber. It just looks odd. Also any reason why the fit corners better going left then right? When I corner hard rights it understeers a bit but zero understeer doing lefts at same speed wtf.

Passenger side axle is longer than drivers side, usually harder to get power down on right handers with our open diff

it wasn't much, like +0.3... I thought it was weird as well!

-1.5 is where it's at for daily
