Can you take better pics level with the horizon? Take a pic of the spc cams

Lowering an inch should get you in the 2-2.5ish degree with the stock arms. The SPC arms have a ton of adjustment and should easily cover that range.

I have the same wheels
I also do not think its almost 4 degrees, but tbh i dont what 4 degrees of camber looks like. I will try and take better pictures today during lunch or after work. Most of the time is dark by the time i leave....

Pictures don't do these wheels justice.

-4 deg camber is quite a bit and you would notice it much more than what's in the pics you posted. To me, this looks like 2-ish. You get a good bit of camber just with lowering the car 1". The lower you drop, the more negative camber you get in the back. The LCAs are needed, typically, to reduce the negative camber in the back.

If you have the same problem, it might be the offset toe bushings that came the LCAs. You can install them in several ways, to maximize negative camber or to minimize it. I had mine installed to maximize it since I though that maybe I wont have enough adjustment for what I wanted. My rear camber is at -3 when the toe is set to 0, at barely lower than stock ride height in the rear. If I wanted to reduce the negative camber more, I would get toe-out in the rear. Maybe this is your problem? Buying adjustable toe-arms will indeed allow you for a greater adjustment in camber while keeping the toe in check.

Yes, I forgot to followed up on the thread but issue was resolved at another shop in about 20 mins.

Original shop was just incompetent...
