Default Camber Correction, HELP

I've installed a set of HKS springs for my 02 IS300. I've got it aligned but I have an issue with the Camber in the rear. It's inside the green and they've maxed out out on the camber, but it looks like I still have some negative camber. Is this normal or is there another Camber kit that will help me correct this? Help please!

Default HELP

Thanks guys, please let me know if anyone knows a camber kit that will help me out. Question, has anyone had the same problem with HKS springs? It was said to only drop it 1" in the rear, but it's more like 1.5"??? Does anyone have experience with Eibach springs in their IS?

my car is lowered alot more than that... but i dont mind negative camber.. it can only help in handling.. if its off just a little bit...its not a big deal... you can always have the tires swapped inside out and put the tread thats wearing out faster on the outside of the rim to get the most use out of ur tires.. i've gotten about 30K on my stock dunlops and i drive hard as well as perform burnouts all the time and donuts.. haha

Well this is the same set up on my first IS300, and the tires wore out fine and evenly. It's within spec, and I don't mind it. I would prefer it be even with the fronts. So I would still like to know if anyone knows of a kit that will help me.
