Ok, so I got an alignment done again, but I'm still having issues with the camber even with the camber plates maxed out. I purchased some cam bolts, but was wondering what most people do to minimize wheel gap, and still not eat tires. Right now my ride height is about 2" of gap. I would like it closer to 1.5". Right now the car is on stance gr+ coils and adjustability isn't an issue for getting height, just camber.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Oh, and I will post a pic of it once I can track down the camera. ;

Before I replaced the front tires, and did an alignment at the auto shop, I'm not sure.

However now it's .7 left side and 1.5 right side. I know there's a touch difference, because it sets about an 1/8" higher on the left than right. Yet, I would like to lower it a lil more and not destroy the tires on my daily driver.

I haven't installed the camber bolts yet, but I know the 1.5 in the red by .1. All of the control arms and stuff in the back are adjustable, so it's good to hook, and sets at about 1.5" gap. I had thought about investing in some adjustable front lower control arms to try and get me a lil more control on the camber.

Should have put it on the title, but it's the front camber. Everything in the rear has been replaced with adjustable components. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Well if your not afraid to tamper with your stances you can drill the holes to make slits on the bottom so you can have some adjustment there, just loosen the 2 bottom shock tower bolts and slide it back and forth then tighten.

does that make sense?

Yeah slot out the lower shock mount where it bolts to the spindle? I had debated on that as well, it's cheaper than control arms. I know my cheap a** Megan's on my eclipse came like that already. Hmmm... between the bolts and slotting it I should get a lot more adjustability.

It's going to be a few weeks before me and the wifey move to a new place where I can work on the car. The apartment complex seems to think it's a risk to let me do in in the lot.
