GUys with BMR K-members and A-arms, Help please

story....
Installed BMR lt1 k-member on my car and also their lower A-arms.
Went to get it aligned and they could not get it to spec.
the MAX caster they got was +3.8 (gm spec is +4.8??)
the MIN camber they could get was -1.5 (gm is more like -0.5??)

I was there for maybe 3 hours with the align tech and they couldn't get it. I think it has to do with the extra adjustment on the back spherical tie-rod jiont.
I am going to pul the bolts and screw these in out or out(then go get it realigned), but i have no idea how much

Could someone please look under there car and tell me how many threads are showing and also were the bolts are in there adjustments??

for example i have 5-6 threads showing, and on my drivers side the front adjment is maxed to the outside and the back is 3/4 to the outside.

go here fo pics... http://www.netsnapshot.com/pcw/build...4&ACCOUNT=4850

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

P.s. if the make any difference, i have pro-kit and bilstiens

I have just the K-Member and it alone mad it rough on the alignement shop since they cannot use their specific tools for the job and have to use a ***-alongs or winch type setup to pull it to the right location.

Mine allowed for more adjustment and amazed them.

It might just have to do with the lower A arms as you stated sorry i do not have any info on how many threads are showing

I'd leave the alignment set up the way you have it... At least your front tires will wear flat . I'd love for my front tires to have 1.5* of neg. camber.


Can't help you on the thread issue however.
