Camber issues

I just recently installed BC coilovers (BR series) I've almost achieved perfect camber in the front but I'm now all out of options. I used the cheat bolt and moved my camber adjustments on my top hats but still need about a inch more at the top. Any suggestions? The rear is simple, I just need to find a lower toe and camber arms but nobody seems to make them. I have the uppers (SPC) but cant find the proper lowers....any ideas guys???

Camber is eating my tires!!! Help me fix my camber please and thank you!

1. Have you tried rotating the front top hats to see if that give you the necessary spacing?
2. Confused how you can say the rear be simpler if no one makes what you need?
3. Have you tried taking photos of your install and inquiring with BC technical support? If the photos are good they can often walk you through the problems.

Wish I could be of more help but without being there...............

The hats are definitely correct. Camber adjustments are all the way over. Cheat bolt in the upper strut bolt, giving it not enough. Should I use shims? As to the rear, I know the issue, I just need someone to tell me a part does exist or I have to figure something out! Lol thanks

Do you have any problem with taking it in to good alignment center and let them have a go at that camber? Might be your best bet to stay safe and still get reasonable handling. Shims just may work. Only way to find out is to give it a try.
