SPC/Eibach rear camber kit limitations

Just got back from the alignment shop and thought I'd share . . . So, I think that the SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts are great. They feature a relatively wide range of adjustment as well. I initially used the adjustment range to bring my alignment back into spec after installing Eibach Sportline springs and Koni shocks.

No problems whatsoever, ended up right in the middle of the Infiniti spec range. This was with OEM Rays wheels. Since I got my new Work wheels, the front fitment is absolutely perfect and flush with front camber at -.75 deg. The rear is very close to flush but at -1.5 deg. camber, I was about 2.0-2.5mm away from a really flush look.

Bottom line is that my alignment guy could only adjust another +.5 deg. camber into the rear bringing the net camber to -1.0 deg. The limitation in my application is the toe. The toe (with modded toe bolts) is maxed out. Anyone else run into this??

-1.0 in the rear is already good, I personally wouldn't even go that positive because you will be sacrificing some performance running so little negative camber. -1.3 to -1.6 would be more optimal and the wear is almost perfectly even across the tires. I personally run -1.5 with 0.05 toe in and get even wear

Did you elongate the toe bolt slots on the subframe?
