Default Front camber!

Hi guys, I am trying to help out my cousin with his '09 civic sedan. I'm having a tough time getting more negative camber from the front suspension. I have tried camber bolts on the shock housing and top hat camber plates maxed out, but it barely gets cambered. And before someone says something, this is all for looks and it aint my car. Thanks for any HELP

we havent taken the car in for camber readings, but after making adjustments, the wheel looks to not camber very much. he is running 18x9 wheels with low offset and needs more negative camber to lower the car at least 2.5-3 inches

Are you installing/using the camber bolts correctly? You should be able to see the hub push in and out while you turn the bolt as the cam pushes it. I had plenty of negative camber using N+ slotted holes, and 1 camber bolt on each side (you can double it up if needed). I fit 18x9 +22 with 225/35 easily.

the wheels he has is 18x10 with +10 offset. It needs a little bit more negative camber to tuck the tire in more. I can get the rears to tuck in fine. And yes I have installed everything correctly.

That is pretty aggressive and wide. I don't think that is going to fit without body work...
