i think it looks normal. it looks like it has negative camber because the camry is pinched in at the bottom and flares out at the top. lammy's doesnt look that way because his are flush to the top of the fender...


why didn't you just have whoever aligned it print out a sheet with the numbers???

I have a slight but visible negative camber on my back (especially when comparing front and back) - I like the look of it as it is noticeable but not extreme. I also had a four wheel alignment done. The best pic I have is not ideal to show that though

Maybe it's the angle of the picture and the point mentioned above that your wheels are tucked in...but it does look weird from that photo alone.

PS: I guess you wanted to post the alignment sheet but selected the pic again.

i don't think that's normal...it looks like you've almost got as much camber as the coilover guys
(that is, at the height you are at, you shouldn't be having that much camber compared to the height we are at)

it looks like you can fit a 25mil on the rear

Where is TRDVVTi or JSM1284 when you need them?
TRD or JSM can translate those number into English for us.
If they don't resposnse to this thread then pm them for advise.

Wow dude, that does not look good man, I've had EG's, EM2 and a DB8 slammed on coils and you would expect to see that kinda negative camber, but not on just springs and ESPECIALLY after an alignment.

you'll need another alignment. I had a bit of negative with my H&R but i don't know if it was as much as you. Take another pic if you can.
