Hey all i am posting here since Auto-X guys are the Best to got o with suspension.

Well i just recently lowered my car 1.5 inches
with weitec struts and springs

I have a few issues i have WAY to much negitive camber

The car just loves to oversteer now.

the other issue is when i am drivng down the highway the handling just seems squirly. It feels like theres a ton of body roll when there isnt allmost like my car is made of rubber. On a uneven surface it it feels like that car is driving its self.

I think that may be a bushing that i heard about but i have no idear what to look for.

I need an alignment but i cant do that untill i fix my camber
I heard you add longer bolts on the strut hats with washers as a spacer will help this?

right now i have 5 or 6* of negative camber which i think is way to much am i correct? i usually hear 2* is the best?

Sure, if you want to ADD negative camber.

Who measured your camber. Unless your car has been wreck and the suspension is bent to hell, there's not a chance that you have 5-6 degrees of camber by lowering the car a little bit. You MAY have 3 degrees, probably closer to 2.
