Default annoying camber problem, bought camber kit still too much..

ok, i got a 94 civic ex, at the moment, stock struts with ebay coil overs, yes i kno it's bad but that's
not the problem i'm here for help with...i lowered the car just a little, fender well sits flush with the top
of the tires, not dumped or anything, but i have bad camber, i bought a skunk2 ball joint style camber
kit and it helped but the camber is still way more than any other car i've lowered...waht could i do?
when i get my gr2 struts and tein springs will that help? thanks..

?

*the wheels are 15" so i don't think that would have anything to do with it, they were the same wheels/tires on my other coupe and no camber whatsoever.....

Im assuming you've already had an alignment done, what is your camber setting at?

wow something is wrong if you used the adjustable camber arms and still have -4 camber. (provided the alignment guy knew you have adjustable front camber and he knows which way to adjust them)

something must be bent....show us pictures of the car so we can see exactly how not "slammed" you are sitting. and show us pictures of the front adjustable camber arm with the ball joint maxed out positive....

Holy crap! I had to adjust my camber adjusting UCAs all the way in to get that much...

How bad was it before the camber kit was installed?
