I'm curious to see what the max camber settings (for left and right) you guys are getting, and what bolts you are using to get them.

Today my specs were -2.3L -1.6R (no driver). Toe was set to zero. Racing beat springs and H&R camber bolts. Unfortunately I was not present for the alignment so I do not know how the specs would have changed with some weight in the drivers seat.

I was surprised to see that much of a difference, and it has me questioning whether or not the right side slipped on me while I was tightening the bolts. Anyone else running these struts have that much of a difference (from left to right) in max camber?
 
I would check the back of the knuckle to see if the casting is limiting the amount of distance the strut can move for camber. Our B-Spec car was way off on one side -2.5 for one side and -1.1 for the order max. We did a little grinding on the knuckle to remove the contact point and gained the camber back.

Thanks, that's got to be it. I feel alot better now about the -1.6 degrees. -1.1 is beyond disappointing.
