Camber adjustment suggestions for lowered (Eibach springs) 04 wagon? (cross-post)
Some friends and I installed 02/03 Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my 04 wagon yesterday and rides great!
Yes we used rear tophats from an 02/03.
Today I am getting camber adjustment and alignment done.
What are you BAIC people running for front/rear camber and why?

Front : -1.8
Rear : -0.5
Note this is a "handling friendly" setup, not necessarily tire friendly
For a pure street car, I'd aim for -1.0 front and rear or thereabouts, with slight toe-in on both axles. If you don't have camber bolts in back, then just leave the rear camber alone.

Come on Matt, I eyeballed it yesterday.. you're close enough 
-1 all around, 0 toe. More neutral than stock with slight understeer and decent tire wear for daily driving.. Especially for as many miles as you rack up.
