Stock camber

Took my car to get aligned today at a local friends shop who mainly setups BMWs and Porsches. I'm only on H&R sport springs. He said one side is at 2.3 and other is at 1.8. He said I shouldn't be getting that much camber with out camber plates. Anyone have any experience with this and what's the most camber we can get out of our cars without using camber plates?

Wondering if maybe something is bent too.

I thought you could only get -1.1 with the alignment pins installed and -1.3 or so without them. I agree that's very odd, unless lowering springs add a lot more camber than I thought.

Not sure the height of the H&R springs, but with comp package I've heard reports (without pins) of -1.3 to -1.9. I wouldn't assume something is bent. Maybe you're just one of the lucky ones. I got -1.4 on drivers side and didn't bother pulling pins on passenger side because I was already at -1.6.

Lowering gives you a little bit more camber. You prob have camber pins removed? -2.0 is about what i got on swift springs w camber pin removed.
