Maybe try a performance alignment place. Dont see any reason they cant get -2. Did they even say if it was too much or too little you have? I had to adjust positive to get to -2 camber on my 1" drop and I dont even have arms but just bushings.

And for future reference anytime you get an alignment ask for the printout if they dont automatically give you one.

Thumbs up for this. Find a local, reputable shop that specialises in alignments. They should give you the print out that includes before and after camber specs and they know all the little tricks to get the most out of things.

ask for alignment specs...sounds like they have no clue what they are doing...

this has nothing to do with SPC-dont know why you're calling them. it works as it should you just need to get an alignment that is proper.

come to @AZP Installs just over the bridge in jersey and they will take care of you. We have a spec 86 race car and have plenty of experience, they've done this so many times and did mine.

I don't know about your problem but alignment machines make printouts of specs.

Sounds like install/alignment issues. Your car should have well over -2* camber in the rear with it being lowered and the SPCs, I was at near -2.6 on both sides with just lowering.

Solution: find a better alignment shop.

I'm no alignment professional and I can do my own alignment easily on the rack at work... and I can even take photos of the readouts in case the printer took a shit!

But this is 1970, there's no technology to speak of.
