Camber Washers
My RSA has HR Turbo Springs and Bilstien HD Struts. I recently had the car corner balanced with a pretty agressive track allignment. The front right seems to have lost the allignment (farther negative) and trashed my tire (Pilot Cup) in about 900 miles (mostly street).
I am going to get it back on the rack to confirm what happened. I heard about some kind of a special washer that can be used to help hold the allignment. What are they, and where can I get them?
Thanks
Alan

Geoffrey posted a while ago about using some 964RSR shims to adjust the camber on his race car, might want to search for it.

The left and rears show some inside wear, but not like the right. We were set up at 2.9 and 2.5 negative so some wear was expected. I had typed a longer reply, and lost it.
There might be more going on, but there is a history of not holding camber settings, so I am trying to eliminate this variable

Hey Alan,
Here's a discussion from a few years back which covers the front alignment. It appears that fresh, Factory hardware may be all you need.
I was wondering, though, about the condition/age of all the usual suspects: control arm bushings, strut mounts, ball joints? And have you considered using LESS negative camber with the MPSC's? I ran those for years with -2.5 and felt that that was pretty much the limit.
