Default how do I fix my camber?!?

I lowered my 2004 GT with H&R Super Sport springs, 2" front 1.5" rear, and put MAC adjustable caster/camber plates to compensate for lost camber due to lowering it. but they did not give me enough camber go get even close to factory specs. what else can I do? wedge kit? any input is greatly appreciated I'm tired of rotating the tires every 1,000 miles

ps I have not replaced the factory shocks would that have anything to do with the ride height/camber on the front?

I wonder if they are not installed properly or something... They could be installed 90* out of proper location like mine were initially installed, back when I had them.

You should only be somewhere around -1.5* or maybe a bit more. If CC plates don't give you that much adjustability, they are not going to be very useful at all.

The slots in the strut tower can be opened up a bit, however with a 2" drop even getting to the top end of the factory camber spec (-0.50° +/-0.75°) of -1.25° is a challenge as Jazzer said.

How far off is it?

I have some camber bolts for sale if you're interested.

I am dropped about 2" on the front of my car and my Maximum Motorsports CC Plates provided plenty of adjustability to get me to my -1.5 degrees. I would double check the install on your CC Plates, because my guess would be that they are incorrectly installed at the moment.
