Default Help with my -4 camber

Currently my car is sitting at -4 degrees for the camber fronts and the rears. I have been searching for camber kits but they will only adjust up to 1.5 to 2. I am trying to get it back to at least a -1. Anyone else experienced this issue and had their camber fixed?

yeah our cars aren't meant to be lowered, when i was barely lowered on stock 16", i was already at max cambers in the fronts ~-4.5

and about the same in the rear, EVEN with an really great alignment

There are a couple rear RCAs that add up to 3 degrees of positive camber.

That doesn't sound right man. You may need to get your suspension parts checked out. I'm about 2 1/2 inches off the ground in the front right now and only have -1.5 degrees in the front. When I was slammed 1 inch lower than I am now I had -3 in the front, and I maxxed out my rear Megans and have -4.5 degrees, so if you're not super slammed i'd get everything checked out.

So I ended up purchasing adjustable upper control arms and the rear camber kits. The rear kits came with poor installation instructions. So I was wondering if any other members did their own install on the rears?
