the guys doing my alighment said tthat its off by like 1 degree - 2 degrees, and its killing my tires

i have.. tokico springs with ground control coilovers, and ingall camber kits, any idea as to how im getting positive camber?

Lowered AND positive camber? Wow... something has to bent.

Are you sure the guy didnt say negative camber?

Postive camber = tops of tires lean away from car \--/
Negative camber = tops lean in /--\

yeah.. positive.. i was thinking that my car isnt lowered ENOUGH... becaue ive heard of stories that you dont exactly need a camber kit unless its a significant drop.. considering i RAISED .. yes.. rAISED my car like an inch.. because i couldnt get on my fooking driveway.. i think that might be the problem..

but does anyone know how much it would cost to straighten out a bent frame?

i went to wheel works again and they said the frame might be bent if the car was hit.. but the car was never hit .. to my knowledge.. but i could be wrong with the previous owners.. (clean title)

A clean title is related to whether or not the car has been salvaged - accidents could have occured without it being recorded. Anyway straightening out the frame I would imagine would be an extremely expensive proess, unless only minor correction is needed.

Before you raised your car, did you have any positive camber or did it occur after raising it?
