I recently gotten an alignment for my DC that's dropped on koni/gc and it turns out I have -1.6 degrees on the front left and -1.3 degrees on the front right. My drop is pretty even on the front and I double checked before my alignment. What concerns me is the uneven camber. Is my camber uneven because the drop is uneven? I was under the impression that if I were to drop my car the same amount on both sides, the camber should be the same. Or does the difference not matter that much?

any time you lower your car, your cambers will be moved. get some camber kit to fix that problem.

It is common to have a difference in camber settings. Here are the settings of my friend's car after being corner balanced:

Walker111 is on factory upper control arm's front and rear* and is unable to adjust any camber settings.
*Many prefer factory UCA's over aftermarket due to chance of the aftermarket units slipping.
