Coilover/Alignment issues

I just installed my BC coilovers along with the spc front adjustable a-arms and the rear camber kit and toe bolts...i went and got my alignment today and w/ the adjustment all the way out im still like 2 degrees off...i thought the point of buying the camber kits was to not have this alignment issue...

what do i need to do to get my alignment back into spec without changing the current stance of the G (really dont wanna raise it)...I just see alot of people w/ slammed G's round here how did yall go about fixing this issue? or do yall just have excessive tire wear...



Here's my specs:

Front: Left Front: Right
Actual Specified Range Actual Specified Range
-2.5 degree -1.3 to 0.3 degrees Camber -2.7 -1.3 to 0.3
9.6 9.6 Caster 9.2 7.3 to 8.8
0.04 0.02 Toe 0.05 0.00 to 0.08


Left: Rear Right: Rear
Actual Specified Range Actual Specified Range
-2.8 degree -2.0 to -1.0 Camber -2.5 -2.5
0.11 0.00 to 0.22 Toe 0.10 0.00 to 0.22

Most of the front camber kits have mostly negative camber adjustment. You have to check to see how much pos camber each camber kit will give you. I bought the SPL camber kit and was able to get +1 degree pos camber out of it so I am at -1.5 Left and Right Front. The rear SPC camber kit should allow for more positive camber than what you are sitting at unless you are slammed on the ground. I would have them check that again.

Also, I believe the shim that comes with the SPC front camber kit is where you get the + pos camber adjustment so check to see if they intalled that as well.

hey man thanks for the help...ive heard of the shim kit but thought it had to be bought seperately, didnt know it came with it...called my friend who installed it and asked if he installed it and he said he didnt think so, then went and looked through the boxes and sure enough it was still in it...

guess once i get that installed ill have to get it realigned and shouldnt have any problems...

thanks again...
