S tech alignment specs with spc camber kit

Anyone else here on stechs that we're able to get close to stock specs? Even with the spc toe bolt modification the best I got was -2.4 camber in the rear. Does this look right?

With SPC Kit you should be able to be in specs

Do you have SPC camber arms or just the SPC toe bolts?

This & this^^
IF you only have the toe kit you won't be able to get the camber in on a deeper drop like S techs, mine was lower than S Techs when I was on springs and my camber was set at -1.1 w/ toe about -.05 w/ F&R SPC arms and rear toe kit.

So does this mean I have to go to a better alignment shop?
The guy said the toe was max out towards the center of the car and 2.4 camber was the most he can do without throwing toe off.

I did cut the extra metal on the toe socket with the templete

Both your F&R camber readings should be much better w/ the SPC arms, as long as you elongated the inner side of the toe slot you should have plenty of adjustment there and the camber should be easy to get in spec. I think I'd look for another shop or go back to the original shop and have him show you why they can't get it in range.

my alignment specs look identical on stechs with the eibach pro alignment kit which is adjustable arms and toe bolts. cameber is less than one degree out of spec not bad minor camber wear to be expected

Im in bristol tennesse took it to 6 different shops they said they would have to take the centrics holding slots out of the sub frame in order to elongate the hole for further adjustment. These specs he shows he doesnt have the front arms he has only the rears. I finnally took it to the dealer where they got it to look like this.

Your aligned specs look like Eibach drop w/o any camber kit. Definitely inexperienced tech do not know how to adjust the kit.
