Check the factory specs on camber. Believe that a little negative is standard with some tolerances allowed. From your description, it seems it might even be OEM, especially if the car hasn't been lowered. Dealer won't do anything as there is no camber adjustment available. And don't bother with camber bolts unless you lower the car.

Don't worry about it. Seems minor and your handling will be better. Won't ruin your tires. Looks better too, doesn't it?

Cheers.

Thank you, I really appreciate your advice. -1 to -1.5 degree on each side is spec. so I'm going to take your advice and not worry about it.

Granatelli did make them so there are some out there in
the public domain. No I dont have them installed YET...
I am going in stages. I dont think they are available
anymore except on eBay - where I got mine.
I have the rear end nailed down with Roush items
and the front lowering project is next.
I am also contemplating doing the GT500 Upper Strut Mount
Bearings and the GT caliper bracket/rotor upgrade at the same time.
