I went today and had an alignment done and for some reason my front camber differs from right to left. The left side is at -1.5 and the right is at -2.5 but toe was set to zero. On both sides. The rear is at -1.5 on both sides and set to -.12

Is the front camber going to be much of an issue? The car is lowered on ground control coilover and height is equal all the way around. Thanks in advance for your opinions.
 
I have the same issue in the back end of my car due to the subframe not lining up properly after swapping to AWD.(i think..) Not sure what went wrong as the previous owner did the swap, but i havnt had any issues with more camber on one side . as long as toe is in spec and the car drives straight, it should be alright id assume. might have a little more wear on the one side after many miles but rotation your tires will counteract this.

That's what I was thinking as long as I rotate tires I would be good. Time will tell
 
-2.5 is a lot of negative camber. I usually am not to concerned about cross camber until it gets over 1 degree. If you have front camber adjustment available on your car id tell them to adjust it or ask them why they didn't. It's policy where I work that if i dont adjust an adjustable angle I have to provide the reason why. (Ex. Bent part etc.)
 
green97gstspyder, please fill out your vehicle profile so we can better assist you. At > 1* difference may indicate that something is bent or worn. Inspect your front suspension components before moving forward. Like fast fred mentioned, there is likely a reason why there is such a discrepancy.

For clarification, when I first lowered my car I was left with a 0.7* discrepancy between sides. It's common really and is a byproduct of 2g's listing a bit when lowered. But I'd still be curious about a whole degree difference.
