alignment issues after re-install of coilovers
If all is installed in the same way, maybe the reading is wrong...
Was the camber checked at the same parking location of the car?
If the floor is not flat it changes the readings also.

Did you loosen or remove the track control arm to enable fitting of the new dampers ?

Now that we are in the Question and Answer phase, here is one more:

To install the OE strut you need to pull the lower arm down to slide the strut in between the top mount and the lower arm, right?
Did you bend anything by putting too much force, using a big lever maybe, to get the lower arm far enough down.
Not sure if it's even possible but if so, it will change your toe and camber I would said...

I loossened the sway bar on both sides and pulled the lower arm down.

couldnt find in the service manual how camber can be set on an oem car, it canT be set then I guess ?

Nope, can't adjust camber on oem suspension.

Maybe take it all off again, check everything and then re-install?

Forgot to put some LCRCA's back in (roll centre adjusters for added camber)?
I know it sounds stupid, but what the hell else could cause such a big change.

I got those standard RCA's which came with the hsd cs2 cant mount them wrong.

yes thought about taking everythong off and reinstalling it but dont believe it would change anything though Blush

was thinking of getting some NCRCA's from technotoy Banging head to get some more neg.camber.

Well, unless you have been visited by camber-sucking aliens, the only
way you can have less camber is if the camber plates have been adjusted.

To max the camber you need to shift the four capscrews to the second set
of holes. There is no other adjustment. Maybe someone is playing tricks ?

Do they only go on one way? If two way, they may not be as symmetrical as you think.
The axle got bent, the car got bent are the last WAGs.
