[s-cars] Alignment hacking

[Tom Mullane]

Kevin,
I suppose you *could* do that, but when you alter camber, you alter toe.
Push the tops of the struts out for more camber, and you toe the car
in...which maybe isn't a terrible thing, since that will help wear the
outside edge of the tire too.

This may be a silly question, but bear with me.

I had my car aligned back in May after installing 1992 S4 springs
instead of the stock 1994 springs. The printout I have shows -1.2
camber measured on both RF and LF after the alignment. The inside
of the front tires is wearing quite a bit faster than the outside.
(Not a surprise to some of you I'm sure.) Since I have new tires
on the way, I want to fix the wear issue.

So the question is: given that I essentially need to add a fixed amount
of positive camber to each side, can I possibly do this in my driveway?

Thanks (even if your answer is "don't be a dumbass, go get another
alignment")
