Camber setting maxed

[Wolf]

Recently purchased and installed some vorshlag cc plates on my 2012 Mustang GT to replace my MM cc plates and get some extra negative camber but somehow I lost about -.5 on each side. Not sure how that happened because I know everyone else seems to get more with the vorshlag setup. I’m currently maxed out at -2.1 and -2.2. The only change I made was the cc plates and they are maxed out. Reached out to vorshlag and Terry was very helpful but I still can’t find the issue. Instead of badgering him over the phone about it I thought maybe I’d reach out and see if someone else may have had a similar issue.
For reference I’m running feal 441 coil overs, MM K-member, stock A-arms and MM bumpsteer kit. And I already cut up my strut towers to allow for extra travel. Any help is appreciated.

My only thoughts are related to the a-arm mounting locations on the MM K-Member or the mounting of the Feal coilovers....

Are you positive they're installed correctly? I had them on my S197 back in 2015 and I got more than that without cutting the fender. If they're installed reversed in the mount or on the wrong side, it would really reduce the amount of negative camber you can get, although positive camber would be a breeze.

@JAJ from what I can tell everything installed correctly.
Vorshlag logo towards front of the car and on their respective sides LF/RF.
@mavisky I was concerned that the MM k-member had something to do with it but from I was told it shouldn’t have any effect. And it’s not offset because camber is equal on each side.

Its not the K member, I put one on my car just last month and my camber readings were within .1 of the old ones.

How much clearance between the wheel and strut? TO get max negative camber you have to minimize the clearance here.

...and you're not running camber bolts or anything in the lower mounting holes for the coilovers? Forgive me, just working through the basics here and this wasn't specified.

make sure you dont have any negative spindle camber, I had this problem... https://trackmustangsonline.com/threads/you-all-said-these-would-fit.18611/post-281170

@mavisky no camber bolts and @BluPil there’s no room in the strut mount slots for any camber adjustment. @DaveW I have about 5-6mm but even if I wanted to push closer I don’t have any adjustment left.

I took it all apart and double checked the cc plates and as far as I can tell they’re installed properly.
