    Are you looking for negative camber or something?

    no normaly when you do sup mods of any kind the car will camber - camber only the driver side will not so there for we can lower the car anymore because it will scrub the finder...

    Only thing I could suggest is aftermarket UCAs so you can control the camber and get it where you want. Is there anything bent that you've noticed?

    So, when you lower the car now the passenger side will go into negative camber but the driver side won't? Is that what I am understanding here?

    By chance, was there any positive camber on the driver's side before it was lowered? Notice any damage to the body where the UCAs bolt to?

    has this difference in camber been measured or are you going just by looks?

    it is possible one of the fenders could be pulled out a little bit.

    pull your fenders out, this happens on alot of cars that ive seen. not much you can do about it besides pull the fender and/or get a camber kit, seeing as your spindles and control arms and not bent and are the proper parts.
