yo guys... you guys were talking about your cambers.. you can adjust it yourselfs...i did mine i made my left side normal and more camber on the right to see what i liked. i think i like it straight with no camber... just loosen up to to nuts (19 and 17. and with a wrench turn the bolt on the reverse side of the nut. watch for the lines to meet up up...)

yeaaah, john was feeling creative so he was messing around with the camber on mine. it looks pretty good. not sure if its that much of a priority to get an alignment right now.

You guys want the rear camber to be about -1.0 to -1.8. Those are the most optimum for the RX-8.

As for the front, it's -0.5 to -1.2.

I grab these figures off of a alignment machine a while off.

+1 for having it set at -.5

recently found that mine was set to that when i put my wheels back on.

-.5F and the rears were supposed to be the same but i have a feeling they're not

Anyways, nikk, the camber settings I did for your car was by eye so one side "should" be off a little. It's impossible to tell 100% unless it's on a machine.
