Slightly odd front camber
Here is my before/after pic.
I'll be back down at the tuning company this week but for now the only suggestion has been to get the camber adjustable upper arms.
(my car is for fast road, maybe a couple of track days, not daily drive)
It's on new Bilstein B6, Tein S springs, Prothane bushings and the adjustable caster Superpro bushing on the compression arm (arms are new as well).
This is just an initial setting, he said we can go further if wanted but I didn't get a chance to really figure out how else we can get the driver side camber sorted out (before going to new upper arms).
Cheers for any help

'It's on new Bilstein B6, Tein S springs, Prothane bushings and the adjustable caster Superpro bushing on the compression arm (arms are new as well).'
For clarification of what was replaced:
SuperPro Compression Arm bushing
(Offset Bushes For standard Caster or Increase) SPF2849K
Prothane Polyurethane Front Control Arm Bushing Kit (14-210)
Prothane Poly Steering Rack Mount Bushing Kit (14-706)
Prothane Polyurethane 21MM Rear Sway Bar Bushing Kit W Bracket (14-1116)
Prothane Polyurethane 34MM Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit (14-1115)
The only thing I did notice was that the front, driver side tyre was about 9psi out !

Pretty common to be off, just get camber arms

Your right front is the only problem with that picture, reading a little low. Left side is fine, ignore the red color.
FSM calls for 1.3 with a 0.5 vairance, I would expect the front right to be about ~1.1. It could be due to the tolerances on the new bushings, or just manufacturing variances on the car itself.
The increased caster is due to the offset bushings.
The alignment is within spec. Correct with camber arms if you are so inclined.

Yeah I'd like the fronts to be about the same, -1.6 or so for road use, bit of sharper turn in.
I was just confused as to why it's a bit out like that but a set of Kinetix upper arms are on my shopping list for April.
Thanks for the pointers, it certainly feels a crap load nicer to drive after all of this though
