1. alignment shop doesn't know how to max out caster, ie JC Autohouse (Cyrus), he gave me 2 degree less max caster than Westend on same ride height and camber

2. people damage their suspension component from going off track etc
Also to add onto what he said, I once went to a shop where they were just plain lazy. Didnt get my camber or caster to where I wanted it and ended up telling me I bent something and sent me off with a car that leaned to the left.

Just don't go to a shop that is full of retards and you're fine. There are a lot of failures out there.

I've been to:

-Dave's Alignment in Huntington Beach
-Darin @West End in Gardena
-M-Workz in Gardena

They've all gotten me -2.5 camber with 6+ caster. You and I are both running KW V3's...which means you've either been to crappy shops or like Jaku said, you may have damaged your suspension.

I think I might have damage then. If everyone can run -2.5 with max caster. I did go off few times when I first started tracking last year. What should I be looking for in the front.

I don't go to JC I go to Henry right next door. Temple city Auto Repair. Hes does alignment for Tim StinkyTofu sometimes. It has to be damage then. What should I be looking for. It all looks fine.

As for the comment I don't think they are unwarranted. Just my 2 cents. I'm fine with being in unlimited. But it does not make sense for lightly moded cars to be in unlimited class. Just like Krazik said.
