Default Alignment Issue??

I bought my z with coilovers already installed and the alignment on the rear was garbage due to everything not being adjusted. I ordered and installed SPL adjustable camber links and SPL rear mid link (spring bucket) and took it to an alignment shop. Their master tech worked on my car since i told them it had adjustable parts for them to be able to actually align it and when i got the car back they said they couldn’t bring back my camber any further in and now i’m stuck with -4 camber in the rear?? What do now or should i take it somewhere else?

Take it somewhere else. They have no clue what they're doing

Is your car slammed to the ground or something?

Not slammed, I live in the mountains of NC so i can only go so far low without tearing up my undercarriage. I’ll probably take it aligned somewhere else

Im about to go through my first alignment.. car came with KW's. I have the new Z1 forged fucas, rear camber arms with spl lockout bolts, the current camber according to a bubble gauge is -3.5 rear -1.5 front and the front isn't even lowered much at all. Hope I can get it closer to -1.5 rear and around -.8 to -1 front with lowering the front about .5in.

wait no why are you going for those numbers? Why would you ever want more negative camber in rear than front?

You want something between -2 and -3 in front depending on fitment needs and around -1 to -2 in rear
