Default Camber kit with OEM 'R springs on a GSR?

Got my alignment on my GSR today. It has full ES bushings, and OEM Type R springs. My camber is .9 on the left, and 1.8 on the right!!!

That definitely sounds like a problem with one of the suspension pieces, possibly a bent arm or something. You better check out the suspension real closely on that side w/ -1.8. With H&R Sport springs I'm sitting at -2.3 on both left and right in front on my car.

That would only be a band-aid fix. He needs to find the real problem of having the camber so far off on one side vs. the other. A camber kit definitely should not be needed w/ ITR springs.

Not even 1", which is why it's not right for one side to have -1.8 deg. while the other side has -0.9 (which is right about the correct spec for ITR's).

Id really have your suspension checked out...The last thing you should need is a camber kit with the oem ITR springs.

How do I check it out though? Like how do I know if the metal pieces are straight and what not?

Well if something hit it hard enough to bend it, I would be you would be able to tell by looking at it. Compare it to the opposite side if you have to.
