My setup is tein flex, and it comes with upper pillowball mount.

So i went aligned my car.
The problem is I was only able to get -1 degree camber from my front camber plate. is it normal? i thought you are supposed to get a lot more camber from camber plate.. it's stupid..

For people with tein flex, how much camber were you able to get from your pillowball mount?

EDIT: The front is MAXED out already. The allen screw is at the maxed out setting

You can move the Allen screws to different holes on the plate to allow it for more movement.

Does he have tein pillowball mount? what kind of camber plate and car does he have?
I am sure the alignment shop knows what they are doin because they align a lot of lowered car and race cars. Plus, me and my mechanic was there looking, while they were aligning.

any one with tein pillowball mount>?

You should be able to get around -2 with the plates alone. How much are you dropped?

that is really weird, you should be able to get a lot more from having camber plates. take a picture of it so we can see it?

i have the Tein SSP from an RSX on my car. my right side was almost pushed to the limit but i still have play room. i think you can only get a max of like 2-2.5 degrees out of the Tein, but i am not 100% on that. also, are they using a laser alignment machine? if they are, either tell them to do it manually or take it somewhere else that has an old school alignment rack. i am sorry to anyone i might offend with this, but those laser machines are junk. i had it done on a rack and am sitting at -.75 all around and it is dead on, no room for error because it was done by hand and not a machine.

it could be something else that could be preventing you from getting to where you want to be and might not be the suspension=P get those pics up when you can so we can see!

here is the picture..
yeah..again.. please let me know if you have tein setup..
all i wanna know is there is nothing wrong with my car or my particular coilover, its just the coilover itself that's only adjustable up to -1

Move the 2 allen screws to where the red arrows are pointing at.
Then you should be able to slide it inner (yellow arrows)

Thanks for the advice, but it wont be able to slide over. the yellow ring around the pillowball is what determines the maxed out position.
u know what i mean? the yellow ring is held in place by the opening of green plate.
