Negative Camber after alignment

Is a bit of negative camber good? Im not lowered. I got new tires and alignment and it looks like all 4 wheels have negative camber. Its not obvious like on lowered cars, but its enough to tell when doing a double take.

1* Negative Camber is pretty common on performance vehicles for the street. More than that tends to wear tires excessively.

You can get away with -1.5 or so without any appreciable wear as long as you have your toe set to zero. I was running -2.0 for a while. Currently at -1.6 for the winter. Have nearly 16k on the stock tires.

Good info. I checked the before/after sheet & it's not over that. Thanks.
