I would just ask for as much negative camber in the front as you can get evenly.

Also if you're at a shop that doesn't do specific alignments (i.e., just puts it within factory spec), it might help to tip the mechanic with money or beer. Sears is like that but I once was able to get a custom alignment by tipping the mechanic a $20.
Did u put ur camber bolt on the bottom slot?

No top slot with tab facing the strut, like this:

1) Whats the part number?

2) lifetime alignements usually mean you have to take it back multiple times for them to get it right (I know I do). Try aday theh are normally slow so they dont rush it. I persoannly use it only to get my toe in line from time to time and pay a good shop when I have specs I want to hit

Network Alignment on the west side of town did my alignment. They work with fully built race cars all the time and will get it to whatever specs you provide, given you have the correct parts to achieve said specs.

Then you have like 60 days if you think something is not to your specs for them to throw it on the rack again free of charge.

Also I have my camber bolts in the same top slot.

The idea is to shift the upper hole inward toward the body and/or shift the lower hole outwards to create more of an angle.

I have the same Bolts and installed mine in the bottom like the instructions said. I got -1.5 on each side. Have another shop do the alignment and let them know you want max negative camber. They will look at you funny but will do it if thats what you want.

I would recommend following the instructions on bolt placement. Different part numbers have different instructions. The top and bottom bolts are different sizes. Also the position of the "lobe" for camber adjustment is opposite if you put them on top.

-.08? For real? Or was it -0.8?

Which shop did you go to? Hard to install this wrong.

I've posted elsewhere but a lot of places will look at their database, see "front camber not adjustable," and tell you that they won't adjust camber (honest places) or make up a story about how they tried and couldn't get more than X camber (dishonest places).

In particular if you went to one of the places in the thread I posted, and they didn't bother to get you any camber, I'd like to know about it to warn others.

If you're using the SPC bolt there is no reason you shouldn't be over -1.0 at a bare minimum, unless you got oddball hardware from the factory. I'd also like to see pics.
