Issues with camber after new coilovers - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey everyone,

Installed my ground control coilovers, they are the koni shocks with the double adjustable race inserts in front and the single adjustable race insert in the rear along with the ground control front camber plates.

After installing went down to an allignment shop and was surprised to see 2.7 degrees of negative camber on the passenger side and 1.4 degrees of negative camber on the drivers side. During install everything went smooth, the bolts on the spindle seemed quite tight and there was no chance of play or much movement. Before i go ahead and install camber bolts so i can dial in the 3 degrees of camber i want. What do you think could be wrong, im going to go ahead and remove the driver side shock and inspect it, because on the GC camber plates i would expect nothing less than the 2.7 degrees of camber i have on the passenger side.

Any advice or opinion?

Edit: the car has never been involved in an accident

Well how much camber do the ground control top hats give? Are they actually adjusted equally?

Do the ground control coilovers have a sloted top hole where they bolt to the knuckle?
