Yeah thats what I figured the shop up here is pretty legit.
THye do bang up work.
They probably didnt want to screw up the car without going with the camber bolts or plates.

I dint think I got hosed, but i was just wondering if I needed to push harder to get it to spec.
At the time I had it done I didnt want anything to drastic, so that could also be the reason.

I must have been a little gun shy when i had this stuff done.

But i also did go to a place and they kind of told me the same thing you said .. U just need to find a place that will dial it in more because you can .. I am still thinking if i want to get camber plates or bolts to run -2 up front .

some shops arent supposed to put alot of neg camber in since when you hit a rut in the road your call will pull .. so like i said i had to go to 3 shops before the person would put it to as much neg camber as i wanted . He said bring it back with camber plates on and he will dial it in to as much as i wanted .. But also told me get ready to order new tires soon .. LOL ..
Hey was wondering where you got your alignment? Will be getting my RCEs and Strut tops soon and need a legit shop that can do a good job on my camber. How much was the charge? Thanks.

This is probably because the mounting holes on the KYBs varies from car to car. Based on many of the reports here, the max camber allowable seems to have gone down between 05 and 06. There are many 06 owners whose alignment guys made a good faith effort to get the max camber and never got close to -1.0. My guy only got -0.4 on one side and -0.7 on the other. If the car would have gone further he would have done it. Note this is without aftermarket camber bolts. I now have plates, and he set them to -1.5.
