Default (RSX-S) Front SPC camber bolts de-aligned within a day! Need help

The shop manager at Acura installed my Progress Coilovers & new tires under the table and I came back a month later since front camber was -0.9L & -1.9R to have him install the kit, raise the car up a bit and align with the rear camber kit I installed a bit earlier.


But after one slightly aggressive turn the car is off center, steering wheel is turned! It was at -1.5 even in front and -0.7 rear.

What to do? Return to stock bolts and hope it comes out even or have him try again with the SPC, perhaps this time maxing it out at -1.75?
(I didn't install the fronts myself cause I couldn't get the bolt out)


Work was done yesterday, I'm going back tomorrow but was only able to leave a message when I called.

I went back yesterday but guy wasn't there, but his partner in scam told me he'd Harte again to correct it

It usually drives straigt but after every right turn the wheel stays to he right, after each left it goes back straight

Would this kill me?

It will not kill you if you drive slow until you can have it corrected. Get the proper torque specs from SPC and I might also suggest using blue Locktite on those...but ask SPC first.
