Camber plates work with a strut suspension. ISX50s don't have struts, so a cheap, (or expensive for that matter) camber plate won't work. In order to adjust camber you have to move the pivot points of the A arms, and your only options are the adjustable ball joints shown above, or a complete upper arm replacement, AKA Megan Racing or similar.

Have you reached the maximum amount of adjustment you can get from the stock camber adjustment bolts? How much more do you need?

I guess I'm sitting at -1.7 on the left and -3.4 on the right
The tech said my factory adjustments are maxed.
and cross camber is horrible.
