Where do you have the notches on the adjusters pointing? Pointing the notches inward will tilt the top of the wheels in further.

Also look to see if the torsion arms are seated all the way into the torsion tubes with an even gap for all.

Do you have any damage to your front end? Has the car even been in an accident?

Are you running just dropped spindles?

If so you don't need to use the "lowered" eccentric nuts.
