That doesn't look too bad for a newly installed spring. I'd be inclined to keep
some weight in the boot (I usually rely on my rather hefty toolkit!) for a few
hundred miles and see how it settles. There's not a lot else that can affect
camber, the obvious one would be a pair of short halfshafts instead of the
correct to year long ones. An extremely bad tiebar adjustment could also cause
a camber increase, but I really am talking about extremes which would make the
car handle like a pig!
Cheers,
Bill.
