I have a 95 s14 and I just installed my Fortune Auto Coilovers yesterday with all rear Godspeed arms (traction, toe, ruca). Went to go get an alignment today and the tech told me there was a big issue lol. The rear right wheel is at over 3 degrees of positive camber and the ruca is almost maxed in. He wouldn't work on my car because there was a possibility of it not reaching the -1 to 0 degrees of negative camber in the rear

Anyway else have issues? What could it be? Any fixes?

Take out the locking nut to back the adjuster piece in a couple of millimeters for more negative camber. Make sure the accentric bolt on the subframe is adjusted accordingly as well. If all else fails, buy some lower control arms and adjust camber with that.

nice. That actually makes a lot of sense. What do you mean by the accentric bolt and the subframe? How would I adjust that? Isn't it just a bolt that goes through the joint?

Yeah, the bolts that connect the upper control arm and the toe arm to the sub frame have eccentric washers for alignments. You can use those for some adjustment too. They might not do much in your case, but any little adjustment you can get helps. It's weird you have over +3 degrees of camber in the rear. You must be really low, or something is bent.

Yeah. That's what I was thinking. Visually inspecting it, it doesn't look like anything is bent. I am not that low lol.
