Default Camber issue?

Hi there, I was wondering if anything was wrong about getting barely 3.5° camber in the front on my 1994 hatch while it was made for having 5.5°? Camber kit is Blox Competition Series. I have no issues in the rear getting 5.5°...
What's the problem? Camber kit or my car? Or everything is ok?
Thanks

UP TO 5.5°, player. It depends on height.

I think your car is trying to tell you that it doesn't want crooked wheels.

Sometimes you see a car on the internet or a magazine with Works or Rays or Starks (or some other rare wheel) that were forced under the fenders using some sort of innovation, body work, repaint, and full body coilovers in order to be trailered to and from some crappy scene....and you think, "hey, I can do the same thing to my DD with lowering springs and some XXR's".

Then you find out that maybe you were wrong and you end up back on the internet. YOLO. #swag

I saw a guy put Aston martin 19s on his car, they were "hella flush" but the car looked good after all was said and done.

I'd hate to be the guy who has to admit to his family that he works for Blox...

I refer you to my previous point, "I think your car is trying to tell you that it doesn't want crooked wheels."

maybe you should listen to it and forget about the dumb scene. Or go over to the appearance forum where people drool over crooked wheels.

Just wondering how this is a tech issue. There's not a problem here with his car. He bought shitty camber components and is using them in an asinine manner.

OP...the camber is adjustable up to -5.5°. Camber is dependent on height. You will also probably start to hit the camber joint on the suspension spring at some point.

How low is your car?

So you lowered it 120mm from stock (around 4.75")? You should be able to get -3.5° camber with stock control arms at that point.

This may seem obvious, but did you slide the camber ball joint all the way in? Pics of the car sitting on the ground and pics of the camber kit installed?
