I plan on either slotting mine or something as well so I can use the camber plates to set neg camber for track days. I just though I'd share that mine was perfectly strtaight, zero camber without slotting them.

So I got my slot on. This is what it looks like

This is the result and this is fresh off the jack and hasn't moved so I think this will solve the problem atleast as far as getting my wheels flat on the ground. You can see how much my tires wore. The YoshiFab plates are still all the way in. I can't slot it anymore.

Is there something that I'm missing?

The only difference between yours and mine is that I'm using the CSM hubs and knuckles.

These pics were taken when I had myt old wheel tire set up which was

15x7 wheels/ 40 offset with 225/50-15 tires

I'm using Colt struts and Expo knuckles, with the stock control arms. My Yoshifab camber plates are almost all the way out toward the fenders (positive), and I still have a tiny bit of negative camber.

I thought I might have too much slot on.

I also ground some material gonna the hub behind.the upper bolt. Maybe 1/8" material. But enough to give me a bit more adjustment.

Did you spin your camber plates 180 degrees? Like previously said the centerline of the strut seems to be towards the front more so than it should be. Not sure you will gain much room within the strut tower doing this but it is worth a try.

I just went and looked at how far inward my pillow balls are adjusted and even with coilovers I am pretty far in. I have room but that is because the diameter of the spring is a lot less. The coilovers I have also have a slot on the top hole on the mount. Another thing though is I have elantra control arms.
