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.
Lol i mean-0.8

I know a local who could only get -0.8 to -0.9 with the factory crash bolt installed. So it's possible that's all your car's geometry will support. That said I'd expect the SPC bolt to provide a tad more than that, and he has a really rare and extreme case - I don't know anyone else who can't get more than -1.0 on stock hardware with a crash bolt.

Really recommend you just do it yourself so you know it's done right, then get a toe alignment afterwards. Loosen both bolts, carefully place a jack under the brake rotor and jack it up some to shove the strut inwards, then torque the nuts to spec before loosening the jack. For a tiny bit extra loosen the three nuts on the top hat when you do this.

Looks like you need to rotate the tab 180. That should move the shaft of the bolt (and the bottom of the wheel) out. From there you should be able to rotate the bolt and the lobe will fine tune your adjustment. Torque back to spec when done.

Disclaimer: Due to stock class autocross rules I have never installed an eccentric bolt for camber purposes.

The tab seemed right. But you have to rotate the bolt too, where the arrow points towards the wheel. The arrow indicates the highest point of the slop

Correct me if I'm wrong but the washer is simply that. A washer with a tab.

There is another nub that is bent inwards toward the mounting hole that you don't see in the picture while it's installed. So it is not just a washer with a tab that does nothing.
