Hey guys I installed my gtworx springs and must say I love the drop and ride its perfect but I let them settle a and got my alignment yesterday and the front drivers side camber is neg 2.1. All the other wheels are dead on to factory. My shop is telling me I'm going to need front camber plates. Just seeing if this is necessary as I thought this wasn't needed w these springs . Also you could visually see the top of the wheel leaned in a bit but all other wheels look fine. Thanks for any help

 

you may have gotten the eccentric bolt flipped the other way during reassembly.

the eccentric bolt is the top bolt on the strut mount that has a dot of red paint on it. stock, it faces toward the strut. yours might be facing away towards the wheel, which will make the camber about 1 degree more negative.

 

see this how to for pictures of the bolt:

Cool thanks I appreciate it

 

And just to make sure: if that's the problem, you must remove the bolt completely, rotate it 180*, and then put it back in. These are not rotate-without-removing camber bolts. These are remove-and-flip bolts.

And then you get to pay for another alignment, although I'd argue that the shop owes you one for free for not knowing how to change your camber.

 

This. It doesn't seem like they tried very hard and/or they wanted to sell you some camber plates.

Please don't be afraid to call us when something like this happens!
