H&R Super Sport Springs alignment issues

[TravisS197]

Got H&R super sports installed had an alignment done and couldn’t get better than 1.5 degree neg camber. Have camber bolts installed so question is will camber plates help get the front closer to 0 degrees OR any idea how to get the neg camber 0’d out. Front tires are 275/35/20 wheels is a 20x9 or x8. Will smaller tire help the camber smaller wheels help? Wider wheel help? Just need some ideas.

neg 1.5 is good, just leave as is

I agree 1.5 neg camber is livable. I had the alignment checked shortly after I bought my '14 GT and it was .07 negative from the factory. No reason or need to run 0. Currently I have Vorshlag castor/camber plates and I run 1* negative on the street and everything the plates allow for autocross.

I run -1.5 and it's great with no discernable extra tire wear. This is on a daily driver (pre-covid) valuing comfort and longevity at the expense of performance.

Same spring here and same tire size...I run -1.5 as well with no issues for the past few years.

Camber plates can help but before you do that I've heard if you unbolt the strut, drop it down slightly and spin the top of the stock strut plate 180 deg that'll take out about .5 deg of the neg camber out. Haven't actually verified it using an alignment rack but some say it works.

For actual specs refer to the manual below:

It works and camber bolts are trash.
