passenger side camber issue
I'm running coilovers, the ride height is a little.more then 1 1/4 from factory. I was able to get the driver side camber in factory specs. The passenger side however is still way out. I'm thinking about raising the car up about a 1/4 to put the total drop to an inch. Would you think it would put me close to my spec? What about the spc camber bolts?

Raising it up around 1/4" would give you a little extra positive camber, but if you wanted to run up towards a degree of negative camber at the front, you'd be fine. The inside edge of the tire will wear a little more quickly than the rest of the cross section, but you'll also have sharper turn-in and a little more lateral grip. I'm running around -1.6 degrees myself right now

Is this in the front or the rear?

Take t back to the alignment shop. Tell them the toe and camber setting work against each other like an A style arm. The tech should set both toe bolts to a neutral position where the edges of the eccentric do NOT touch the adjustment 'fences'. The tech should then set the camber and work backwards with the toe. The tech will be able to get both side equal now.
We do make a product for lowered 5th Gen Camaros that solves the 'I am lowered and have too much negative camber problem'. Quote:

I'm the alignment tech lol camber was a lot worse, I zeroed the toe and was able to bring it in a little bit but not much.

Maybe flip the toe links side to side to check?

I wouldn't think they are bent, (bmr) non adjustsble. I will try and flip see if it helps.
