1mm at most, I figure.

I'm super glad it didn't touch the rim...  Meaty tires, FTW.

So you shouldn't have to replace the tire then, right?

Hopefully, since these were going to be done as of the end of this summer anyways.

I didn't phone Wally for the camber gauge, or think to put my iPhone up against it...  But it was visibly *more* than my front wheel (which is -3.5*).

"Oni-kyan", I like it!  But if I had stretched tires the rim/strut would've been *destroyed*!  :o

Geez, I would fire the guy who did your last alignment, AND the guy who installed those coilovers this spring.

Fire them both...together...at the same time...

Don't forget to fire the guy who's been rotating my tires..  He should've noticed that!  ;)

Sorry Grant, just giving you a hard time. I'm glad to see you documented it well though...
I'm supposed to be a professional at working on cars and i've left a few things loose in my 5 year career.

It wont happen again, you'll triple check them from now on. Maybe get your torque wrench calibrated ? Or do what I do and
use an impact to tighten those up.

Good to see no big damage...I like the pattern though.

I actually think it's because of how many times those camber bolts have been installed/removed they didn't lock securely anymore...

Yea, there was a rubbing noise, that's what i was investigating.  And it felt like the e-brake was 1-click up.
