Camber Kit question?

I installed the camber kit this past weekend and took it to the alignment shop on Moday. The funny thing is that the driver side rear is sitting almost on the tire and the passenger side rear has more than a fingers gap. It is the SPC kit that I put on and I have an 02 sedan. Anyone have any ideas?

Was the suspension like that before you installed the camber kit. If not then they must have the camber different on both sides.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]if the alignment is to the spec - zero degree,then the spring itself could be the problem due to installation process,if the camber is zero degree(u can determin that by my improviced method on the other thread i made),then the camber kit has nothin to do with the ride height,check that out and lookin good.

The sides seemed the same before the camber kit. I'm going to take it back to the shop that did the alignement on friday to see if they can figure it out. They should both be in spec now. This is really annoying!! I thought I was getting my car more back to normall and now a new problem! And until it's fixed I have to drive all slow so I don't rub on the left side.
