Angry Why is it still butterflying

I recently installed some skunk2 sleeves around some tokico gas shocks, skunk 2 f/camber kit & a r/ingall camber kit...with a sppon rear strut bar. Its not really noticeable to the average eye but i notice it. Originally when the car was set up and lowered it had about a finger gap between the tire and the wheel well not it has about 1/2 of that in the rear, but the front remained the same. Any suggestions?

the camber kits are installed, correct... but have u taken it to get aligned? just having the camber kits doesn't do anything until you get it professionally aligned... where they hook it up to the computer and it shows a reading of all the degrees. for example when u take it to NTB, let them know u have an adjustable camber kit and they should adjust it along with your routine alignment.

I had them aligned at a shop...the ride is smooth....the steering wheel doesnt shake. But on looks alone the rear tires look like they are butterflying a bit. And they are ingalls and they are not adjustable like the skunk2's i have in the f/.

Sounds like the springs just settled. Doesn't sound like dropped too much, but if you are worried about the extra camber, have it re-aligned or raise the spring perch a bit to get back to a 1 finger gap.

One thing I've heard of is weighing the car down to offset your body weight when in the car when having it aligned. Check to make sure your springs are seated correctly.

thanks for the info. butterflys is gone, but i got a new prob.
I can't seem to get my coilovers to the right height on the back two tires. When i adjust them to the same height, the rear driver side is lower then the passenger side, So i figured lower the passeger side, which i did but in doing so, my driver side went even lower. My passenger side dropped. but the whole point was to just have one side lowered not both of them ya know. Its a lil less then 1/2 inch difference in the height. What is the average difference between rear tires when they are lowered? Are they ever perfect or am i just tripping about this whole thing?
