Default Too much negative camber!

So my car is lowered on KW V3s 1.5". I just did my alignment and we can't get it any better than -3.7 left and -4.1 right. What the heck is the problem? It's never been wrecked.
Where should I start? Is there a camber kit I can get? Should I replace suspension parts? Please advise, thanks!

Hey brother

I had the same issue with my S but, not as much as yours. You can try loosening the rear sub frame to be sure it is centered. You may have to replace a few suspension parts in the rear to get it right.

Thanks Ben! What suspension parts would you start with?

Raise the ride height. The toe settings also effect camber.

Thanks Slow, I'm going to exhaust all options before I raise her. Seems like everyone is having success but me>>> 1.5 inches just doesn"t seem that low.

I'd bet it's a bit lower than 1.5 from stock to see -4.1

Slow, I have 17" wheels, the car just barely touches the tire, but you could be right, I've just seen cars slammed and not hit my measurements. It just doesn't seem right...
