Wheel alignment issues

Hey all

its getting to be abit of a joke now, i have meisters/whiteline antiflift kit and poly drop links and front bushes, its been at two different garages now (kwik fit and a john bean equipped garage) they both cant seem to give me the alignment settings i want

-1 camber
0 toe
and max positive camber (+2)

they loosened the top mount and took it all the way in (towards the engine) and the computer read -0.23/-0.30 both saying they cant get anymore out of it (i was present at the latest garage) and did see it cant be taken any further...


Settings wise im not sure what kwik fit put in but the john bean equipped garage put in toyota>starlet>PAS and went from there although there was an option for the SR....luckily i havent had to pay anything as the work wasnt carried out. Do they have to go in to some sort of custom setting part of the softwear or do as they have done and punch in the cars details and set accordingly?

Ive had a look at the topmounts and they seem correct as per this thread (http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showth...ighlight=camber)


currently in this position driverside



Passenger side



both shops addmited they dont do custom settings and one fat fuck even said "we dont do shit like this we usually do mercs" my old man is friends with them otherwise i would have knocked his teeth out the cheeky cnut be naming and shaming later.....extremely poor customer service!!!

Would it have made much of a difference to the scale of the readings on the computer? It did say standard alignment at the bottom of the screen...They still couldnt get anywhere near -1 he didnt try any other settings/click something else was just adamant his machine was right and that my car was shit
anyway.....can anyone shed any light? is something else wrong? or are the shops doing something wrong with regards to the softwear?

you need to move the two inside allen key bolts to the middle holes instead that will allow more camber to be set .
