(-1.2 vs -2.1) Front Camber after Fixed camber plates?

Is it normal to have such a big difference after installing IE fixed camber plates? I understand that there will be a small amount of difference between the left and the right front camber coming out of the factory but it seems like a lot. I had the plates installed by one of the most reputable shops in the area and they did a alignment after they installed the camber plates. These number are about 2 months after I got the camber plates installed. The car has less than 3000 miles and I run 16" non-runflats. I have M7 SRPs since I first got the car and doesn't look as if I have mushrooming. Any ideas?

TIA

The front subframe can be jockeyed from side to side after loosening the bolts to help equalize camber differences, but you might be reaching the limit on what can be done to zero out the difference. It's worth a try.
