Is it normal for my alignment place not to be able to get me less than -2 camber in front and back? in the back i dont mind but i was hoping for -1.5 -1.8 max in front.
I am at RS +5mm height and my front tyres are 235/40/18.
I use to have 225/40 before and camber was fine...now he wasnt able to get me less than -2..
Please advise.

Without camber plates in the front you will not get anymore camber. You should add a tower brace along with the camber plates. Your camber setting will also rely on how much spring/suspension is on the car along with tire choice (R comp, slick, street). The 235 is wider, but that should not affect the camber unless your having clearance issues.

i was looking for less camber..i want to be at 1.5
no problem with clearance issues.

That is a bit strange. You should be able to get the camber back to near zero even using the factory adjustment. Loosen the front bolts on the strut and check the range of the adjustment. Do you have stock uprights or EVO ones installed?

I have stock uprights. I do an alignment everyear at same place by same reputable mech...only thing different this year is i went from 225 to 235 tyre...
Last year i was at 1.5 camber in front.
RS +5mm hieght as always.
It doesnt make sence to me either but he said he cant go less...before i go back i was hoping for some feedbackfrom you guys.

Ask him what is restricting him. There is a good amount of adjustment available at the bottom of the shock.

Typically, the gripe is not being able to dial in enough negative. Anything that could've bent the struts?
