FC - rear camber issue

I'm having trouble getting anything more than about 1.2* of negative camber in the back of my FC (note, I am trying to increase negative camber, ideally to around 2*). I have both the AWR independent camber adjusters as well as the vertical adjustable link that Mazdatrix sells (forget who makes it).

With the vertical link fully extended (so it is at its longest) and the independent links also fully extended (so there is virtually no thread showing above the lock nut) I am still stuck at -1.2* on the passenger side and -0.9* on the drivers side.

Any ideas on what I could do to increase this? Are my adjustments correct?

Are you able to get the rear camber equal on the left and right sides? For example -1.0* left and -1.0*right.

Wow, that's completely the opposite problem that most people have, you must be running quite a high ride height.

that adjustable link may be shorter than stock so even thought its fully extended you amy be compensating just the way you dont want to be.

This got resolved in another thread, the control arms had been modified by the previous owner because it was an EP race car, and they use bias ply slicks, which like very little camber, so the arms were modified to suit. Apparently with stock arms it's fine.
