Default Need an alignment fix

I've been autocrossing for a little while and I went for an alignment as follows: Front: Toe 0 Camber 1.25 Caster 5.5 Rear: Toe 0.25 total Camber 1.75
The shop said they could only get 1.2 camber in the rear. The minimum recommended is 1.5 and I've heard of people running 2.5. The car was in an accident two years ago, but has always run great. Why am I getting so little rear camber and can I fix it? If I can't fix it what do people recommend for an alignment? Thanks for the help.

I got to see my alignment done in the rear via manual (old school) alignment tools and its set to -2 deg on both sides....and i still had a lot of room left on the adjustment to go more....the shop told me about neg 3.5 would probably max it out.

The only difference is i have a KW Varient 3 supenion....which dropped ride height alot.....that may have something to do with it but i still think there is something wrong with yours.....i know you can get -2 deg out of a bone stock S......where did you get your alignment done??

I have a stock S2000 and I had the alignment done at Auto Pro to Call in Chapel Hill, NC. They're great guys, honest and seem to know their stuff. I'm thinking of bringing it to the local Honda dealer to see if they can see a difference, since they probably have more experience with the S2000. If anyone can recommend a local shop that would be great.
