Negative camber wear even with HKS top hats set at +1

[SR20Inside]

I've had my bilstein/eibach prokit/hks top hat setup on my s13 for about 5 months now. The fronts I adjusted all the way positive so that it wouldn't screw up my tears with negative camber wear. I have noticed over the months that there is extreme negative camber wear and am unsure as to why since according to the hks top hat I have my camber on it set at +1. Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?
TIA

Here is pic of the hks top hats I have...

The markings on camber plates are just for reference. They are not the actual deg per line like most people think. You may still have neg camber which is fine. If you are within the factory neg camber area then there should be hardly any camer wear. You probibly have excessive toe in/out which is causing the wear.

Correct. The marks are just for alignment use, they're not an actual measure of camber because every car is different, depending on ride height.
Toe is what wears tires more and that's more than likely your problem unless the camber is exceeding -4. Which I doubt it is.

I agree with Russ. Have the car aligned and see what the toe is; I'd be willing to bet on the toe being excessive.

You're experiencing toe wear.
