Most cars now have a lot of rear neg camber up around -2 deg which is enough to see on a car.

It's a good safety measure for uninformed drivers in slick conditions, but when I get an alignment I dial some out like to -1.5 deg so the car will turn easier.

Get a tread wear gauge and measure across tread to see where tire wears more.

If the alignment is off it will show tire wear.

I wouldn't touch alignment unless to save tires.

My X1 seems aligned right, but still does what you said at speeds around 120 mph.

My spacers did enough for me, and I only hit about 110 mph on my track.
