08 g37 camber issues

I just recently bought a used 08 g37s coupe. It was dropped with tien s spring. It also came with rear camber kit. I brought it to firestone and they cant seem to get it align right? I uploaded the picture of the camber cant seem.to find out which kind it is. The guy at firestone said it is maxed out and the other firestone I brought it to said they installed it wrong, but from the videos and pic of other camber it seems right. Only thing I can guess is that it wasn't made for the g37 so its adjustment isn't correct.

any help would be much appreciated. I tried to upload other pictures but they all failed. Only this one worked. Ill try and take more pictures to get a better view.

It's basically the same arm as the Eibach & SPC camber arms (same design but probably not the same source). You should be able to get that camber in w/ that arm but you might also need the toe kit (2 toe bolts w/ larger concentrics). They might be having to fight the toe spec when they're getting the camber set up. Or they might have it set up wrong or aren't very good at what they do

S Techs along w/ H&R springs (and my previous B&G S2 springs) are some of the lowest spring drops so toe kits are generally required when you go that low. You might even have them already and not know it since you bought it used. Here's a thread for reference
