As I said above, I have the Megan Racing version of those and was able to gain ~1.5 deg.

You have to get the subframe figured out before you go any further. Figure that out and then see if you still have the issue. If it is the 19mm bolt that is a really long SOB, it actually has two sets of threads and gaulds/breaks frequently, be very careful! I would use a ratchet and very slowly work it out, going 1/2 turn out 1/4 turn back in DO NOT force it. This will take some time but will save you problems (ask me how I know). Once you get it out replace it, then loosen/tighten them all back to spec.
To be clear though that bolt needs removed/replaced, I would not just try to tighten it back in, IMO that will cause more issues.
As as far as your actual alignment you start loosing caster after around -2.2 on a normal S2k, so anything more and you will need aftermarket ball joints. I have the Buddy Club and like them.

not sure if it's the 19mm bolt but it's the one i circled in red, you can see there's a little gap where the bolt is not fully screwed in to mate the surface
what was your max camber after the roll center install or the additional -1.5 was the limit?

The alternate approach is to replace the upper ball joint and some of those are adjustable.

Hard to tell from your picture but I do not think that is the one. I would stand over their shoulder and make sure they do it like I suggested. If that thing is stuck in that position it could break if you are not careful.

Looks like the BC one has the optional spacer fitted,the Megan does not.

The offset ball joint added a fixed 1.5 deg. There is no adjustability in it. I'm not sure why the manufacturers suggest that you could gain more than that. There just isn't enough offset.

interesting, im doing a little research looks like with J's you are able to get 2~5 degrees of camber adjustment depending on your ride height

That said, I've found 3 deg is probably about the upper limit for the street. With 255 in front, there is noticeably less steering feel and the car likes to track ruts. I imagine braking performance would be degraded too. I would dial it back if I didn't track it.

That's probably about right. My front is at 3.2 deg with only a 15mm drop. When I first installed Ohlins it was lower and gained nearly a full degree. A more aggressive offset might gain that final degree.
