Default Skunk 2 camber kit

I have a ej8 lowered on tein s tech springs. I put skunk 2 camber kits up front. The shop that alligned it said they couldnt set the camber at zero, as there was no more adjustment in the camber kit. Can that kit be adjusted more, or are there different versions of the skunk 2 camber kit, because on their site, skunk 2 says their kit can go from +4 to -4 degrees.

The tolerance range for the front camber of a '96-00 Civic is -1.00* through 1.00*, so up to -1.00* of camber is within spec. Camber doesn't have to be set as exact as toe does.

Tein S.Techs are very mild springs and will not need anywhere near 4 degrees of adjustment. Are you sure something on your car isn't severely bent?

Post the complete alignment printout.

im sure nothins bent. the thing is that 3 months after the alignmnet was done, the f-ers told me that there want enough adjustability to ste the camber to zero. I think they messed up my toe too, because there is NO noticable camber on the fron and after 3 months the insides of my tires are shot.

if the camber is within the tolerence range, will the tires still wear out quicker if the camber is not 0?
