Default drop with tanabe, too much negatice camber

i dropped my car with tanabe df210, love the drop,but when i did my alignment theres too much negative camber in the front. and some on the rear. and i search for some camber kit and there kinda pricey, so i was thinking about putting it back to stock. any suggestions where to find a good price for camber kits? thanks

i would only worry if i had -5.0 in the front. With the tanabe df210s springs not cut, you should get under -2.5.

RCA doesn't correct camber on springs. If anything, it will most likely add more negative camber. The front will be dropped so low while the rear will be high up in the air

Rear RCA's can correct camber on springs, but front ones can't unless you have coilovers. But it doesn't add camber, so you get more drop for free!

Wait, you were afraid of negative camber wear on your tires but now you want to get coilovers to go lower?

I wish this was true, but it only applies to those with coilovers. Spring users will end up with more negative camber in the front.

How much negative camber are we talking about? How much lower will the RCA's make it go in the front?

i was convinced that more negative camber the better for the VIP look. i got -2.85 camber in the front. but gonna change my wheels to get a better offset. cause now its a bit conservative +35. palnning to go +24 so i can still tuck my tires when i get some coilovers.
