Rear Camber

I got an alignment recently and the alignment shop says my rear camber is -2.8 and they cannot get it any better than that without hitting the fender. Now when I got my alignment after spring install years ago, my rear camber was -1.7. I was surprised by the new numbers. Now the question is would a rear camber kit solve my problem or would I have to raise the rear drop with say coilovers and then use a rear camber kit to be able to get the rear camber back within specs. Shop made it sound like due to the drop in the rear the camber could not be brought in.

Pics would help to see how much actual clearance you have to work with.
what springs are you on? Adding a rear camber kit would be a good buy regardless.

I highly doubt going less neg camber will hit your fender until you're under -1deg.
Do the sedans have pre-rolled fenders? If not, that will help out too.

The front is rolled, the rear is not. Plenty of posts of people trimming the rear splash shield and a tab.

The rears are indeed rolled. At least from 2009 and up they are. He may have to have the rears pulled, but I highly doubt that.

Oops, had it backwards. I just checked my car. The rear fender lip is flattened to make a vertical surface while the front lip turns up at about a 45° angle.

BTW Celwin, what wheel/tire specs are you running, that will help. Please include offset.

Unless something else is wrong that setup should EASILY fit without any rubbing and very little camber.
I was running 20x10 +45 on 295/30/20s and fit just fine w/ camber at -1.0
Here's a pic
