Default SPC Rear Camber Arm and Toe Bolt

Is it normal that when slammed with SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts that I can't adjust my camber lower than -2.7 degrees while getting toe into spec? I'm not dumped but I'm pretty damn low IMO.

For example:

Bump for an answer. Any solutions to my camber issue?

I have the SPC Rear Camber Arms and Toe Bolts and I'm running at -4 degrees of camber in the rear with my toe just barely out of 0 degrees. I think I'm running like 0.09 degrees of toe in the rear. Perhaps they are not installed properly, my alignment shop was able to get mine exactly where I wanted them and my car is practically sitting on the ground.

Yeah, it's normal and is due to both camber and toe being adjusted from that 1 arm. Once you pass a certain point, you won't be able to get both toe and camber in spec if all you have is aftermarket rear camber arms with eccentric toe bolts.

There are adjustable mid-links (or toe arms, if you have true coilovers with no rear springs in the cups) to remedy this issue.

Do the SPL Midlinks work with oem-style coilovers? Cause if not there is nothing to be done about the camber I'm running. In order for my toe to be in spec, the least amount of camber I can run is -2.7 degrees, which I guess isn't too bad. I'm getting a decent amount of inner wear but I'll live with it if needs be.

To give you a better idea of the height of my car once settled and aligned properly, unlike the first picture I posted. You'll probably notice that the fitment isn't as flush in the rear which is why I want to reduce camber instead of putting spacers but if I can't reduce camber then I'll put spacers.

*Edit*

Better shot to prove my point:

Why don't you just get some spacers for the rear in order to make it completely flush?

That's what I'll most likely end up doing. It's either less camber or spacers, it's not staying like that. What would you say, 15mm?
