looks good but why would you want more camber on sunk in wheels? nagisa makes lca's but they cost a grip and will have to be imported. doesn't make sense just to make your wheels fit worse.

i agree, the point of cambering the wheels is to get better/more aggressive fitment. you don't have even good fitment so more camber is just going to worsen that problem...

did you try messing with the factory adjustments...yeah we do have factory camber adjustment.

looks good except for the wheel design and fitment imo. if yo're stuck on those wheels, get soem spacers, then fab some adjustable control arms for the camber.

If you do need more camber, can't you remove your camber plates and machine them? I had issues with alignments and this is exactly what the shop did to mine to get more camber front and rear. It wasn't expensive and now my alignment is dialed in.
