Finally an update:

So I figure I will start off with giving a small review so far on the BC Racing type BR coilovers......these things:

I am very impressed by the qaulity especially since they are made in Taiwan. The coilovers came with a 1 year warrenty, the necessary adjustment tools, some product info and a SWEET decal! The whole assembly in general was solid and the craftsmanship impressive, BEST part was the include a brake line clip

Camber plates very nice BUT they peg out at -1.5 degrees because of the allen bolts hitting the bulkhead. The Dampner is fully adjustable with 30 settings.

The install on the car was easy and they came preloaded. I would say judging from when I first put the FC on the ground, the ride hieght was about stock...maybe slightly lower. They adjust just like any other coilover and I will say that the threaded cylinder turned easily IF you loosen the rear and front lower arm bolts.

Total time to install and adjust the ride hieght accordenly was around 4 hours. I used a digital vernier caliper to measure the distance from the bottom lock ring to the small preload lock ring. This ensured linear drop. I DID have to drop the passenger front a 1/2 inch more then the drivers side though to get equal fender gap.

I also have MAXED out my MMR Rear Camber adjusters(bolt fully tightened and bottomed out)) and I am in the -1.2 degree camber in the rear.

Did you move the allen bolts around?
I noticed that in your pic there's extra holes in the "center" of the plate - this is typical of most camber plates.
You can remove the bolts from the "top" and reinsert them in the lower positions, allowing you the get more adjustment.
Unless the sliding camber block is hitting something?
