Bent driver side something but i want more camber
recently i spun the car into a dirt ditch and i recently brought it in for a alignment. driver side front can only get 1.3 camber while passenger side can get 2.0 camber. its still within spec but something is probably bent. the before for the driver side had become +0.4 due to the spin.
Options i am thinking are getting a front camber kit to try to get more camber or replacing the control arms to try to get the max of 2.0. the car is stock and i do track days for fun. my concern is safety with the aftermarket camber kits.
suggestions?

Check your alignment tabs. Mine were bent due to a similar incident (not off road). Couple alignment shops missed that the tabs were bent in the direction that the LCA moved the inner camber tab toward the center of the car. The outer tab was not bent but the camber adjust would not touch the outer tab leaving alot of available camber on the table. The shop that found it pulled the bolts and used air hammer to bend the alignment tabs back into place. They are not load bearing just the guides that move the eccentric washer when making adjustment. This fix got me half way there. I replaced the LCA and had them shift the subframe and now i can get 1.8 on each side. I don't know the extent of your damage and only sharing my experience. To be safe you should change the LCA and possibly the entire subframe and new subframe bolts. I changed both LCA's to bring everything back to spec. even though the damage was on one side.
thats for the tip. ill take a peep under it when i get a chance. i trust my alignment guys as ive been going to them for awhile for parts.
thanks for the advice guys. ill be looking for the parts for replacement.
