PP1 lowered on Steeda Progressives. Uneven front camber now?

[Volta]

Strange issue with my GT. My friend and I put Steeda springs in my car the other day. Today he was aligning it and I was there hanging out with him.

The driver side front wheel is at -2.1, and pass is sitting at -1.3. I understand I need camber plates but why is it uneven? Is there some slop in the front end that I’m not aware of? Would the top hats not being clocked right affect anything?

Thanks

Oh, I should add- same machine.. different tech.. before lowering front camber was sitting at -1.0 L and -1.1 R so I don’t suspect any damage to the car.

I’d suspect it’s the tech and not the car leading to the uneven readings. I’d ask to have it redone on a day the original tech is on duty for some reassurance.

The only way the camber could be that far off side to side is if something got bent, or if the front subframe shifted during the spring install.

I’ll request Foreman to look at it on Monday. The tech is a friend of mine and we stayed late to install the springs together. When we did the fronts it was just a matter of zipping the 2 bottom bolts out, and the top 3. They both went back together easily with no hiccups. The only thing I could think of is we didn’t pay attention to whether or not the top hat was clocked the right way, with notch towards the engine. Though I’m not sure that would matter for camber.
