Alignment Report. Whats wrong??

I am on BC racing coilovers with SPC rear camber kit w/ toe bolt. 20x8.5 20x10.5(not sure on the offsets). Toe bolt holes were elongated. The numbers on the alignment sheet are o.k. i guess. But the thing is, my wheels still look like they have hella negative camber. I want them to look like they have 0 degrees of camber.

So what could the problem be here?

looks correct to me. the fender/lines of the car aren't exactly perfectly vertical if you're using that as a reference point.

Hmmm....maybe need spacers?

I want it to look almost straight like this. Then again, it looks slightly cambered.

You need a new alignment place. LOL. There's some serious dorks there if they couldn't get them back within at least -1* of camber. SPCs should be able to do that - even on a beyond slammed car. If the arms really are maxed out in the positive direction, time to get SPLs - that's what I had to do.

wait. are you trying to get the wheel to stick out more (be flush) with camber?

that doesn't seem right. I have BC racing coilovers with SPC front + rear camber arms on my 04 coupe and my alignment place was able to get the rear wheels within -1 degree camber.

this isn't the greatest pic but you can tell my rear tires aren't cambered as much as yours (I have spacers too)

He's a lot lower than you a good 1.5" more. And for every inch, there is -1.5* of camber caused. He could very well be maxed out on the arms, but that's hard to believe from SPC.

What we have here is an example of rusults from having your alignment done at PepBoys or Sears. They obviously don't have a clue how to make the adjustments to get your alignment back to OE specs. A independent brake/alignment shop with a knowledgable mechanic would have this corrected in 30 minutes....back on the street! Those SPL adjusters have miles of adjustment, well almost.
