When I tried to get my alignment done while being slammed on oem wheels, I could not see how anyone would fit a camber kit in the front without modifying the front strut towers.

That's weird. What are you lowered on? There shouldn't be that much of a difference from one side to another. Usually, the driver side is about 0.3 or 0.4 less camber than the passenger side so that when you're sitting in the car, it'll basically even out. Does your front drop look uneven?

And you should ask them to set the front toe to zero (0.01 or -0.01 should be fine). As for the rear, running a bit of toe-in (positive toe) should be okay to compensate a bit for the negative camber; maybe around 0.05 or so.

Im on type 1s and it doesnt look uneven. but that could be it. and this was after setting the toe

You might want to talk to JordanFleenor because I think he recently had a similar problem with his front camber being way off from one side to another.

MAKE SURE your ride height is even as well. My was actually off by about 1/2 inch. Idk how I managed to do that but yeah, best thing to do is take your coils off and get a good measurement. That's what I did and they seem to be more even.
