Camber is a good thing...

Actually, when I got my car aligned after installing the springs the camber was less than 0.5 degrees out of spec. Camber is a good thing, especially on MacPherson Strut suspensions. When the front is pushed down or as the body rolls in a turn the struts move toward positive camber, this is not ideal. Excessive camber is really only a problem for street cars when you get into the 3 degrees or more range (IMO).
Plus Saab doesn't have any adjustments except for toe. Unless you take a dremel tool to the strut towers in the engine compartment. I doen't know about you but I am not ready to start cutting slots in my cars unibody.
Besides I like the extra camber. I can go faster around the turns, safely.
