Default X-74 suspension question

I just had the X-74 suspension kit installed in my 2003 C2. I now can only get -30 min. of camber maxed out in the front. I did not expect alot w/o camber plates or control arms but this does not seem right as usually lowering will net you more. It makes me wonder if the install was done correctly as I think you can get more even with the stock suspension. Thoughts?

I have the same setup. The x74 c2 alighment calls for -30 min +/- 15 min front camber. So if you meant -30 min, your alignement is right on. My impression is you don't get much more cambers even with x74.

Thanks for the correction, I did mean -1/2 degree. It is set to the factory specs as you have indicated. I was hoping to get more as I am running r-compounds.

Thanks for the replies. I wouild love to see -1 to -1.5. Does it not seem odd that -.5 is all there is? I thought lowering helped increase camber.
