after installing my tokicos, eibachs and aluminum sfb my camber is out of wack, camber plates are drilled out and left front strut bering groans whenever i turn the wheel left

Firestone cant get the camber back into specs after several tries from several different firestones (thank god for lifetime allignment). my camber readings were -2.4 left and -1.5 right, then i shifted my subfarme to the right and got better results but im still at -1.3 on the left and -1.4 on the right

whats going to be my best course of action? are there some camber adjusting strut mounts available to use?

Um, a tenth of a degree difference between sides is pretty good. If you have -1.3 and -1.4 I think you're in pretty good shape. That's a nice amount of camber, IMHO.

I agree. That's usually about the best you can do with Eibachs or Intrax springs. The car will handle well with those settings. Just rotate your tires occasionally and you'll be fine.

You can also slot the strut towers a bit to gain a little more positive camber if you are really concerned about the tire wear. One of my previous cars had this done and it yielded good results.
