you have to take out some caster to get more camber, and you have to do it with a alignment machine

not all Konis are created equal and there can be more to it than simply bolting them on ...

or also high pressure monotube. Koni is just a general name, they make quite a few different shock models, including a bunch of custom stuff.

FYI, -1.5dg is possible even on stock suspension if you are lucky. I was running -1.5/-1.8 prior to putting in the Koni. You need to find a skilled shop who does alignment as its speciality.
