Ok did a search and found nothing on reviews. Lowered the car on coilovers HKS Hypermax LS+ and inner front tires wore out in 6 months. camber was off big time. Got a realingnment and still off would like to get to spec. Was considering SPC saw where someone had a problem can I get reviews from others and other brand options reviews. Thanks.

camber isnt usually a big problem in wearing out tires, toe and caster specs affect tire wear much more, make sure that they are within spec. What is your camber specs? How low are you? I have -2.3* in the front and it doesnt wear much because everything else is within or close to spec.

Get RCAs (when they become available again). They are a little more pricey but def. worth the money. The SPC UCA is great in conjunction with RCAs because you can get your camber dialed in spec. Without the RCAs, they are still pretty good when properly installed. The rear SPC camber kit in ok but required you to dremel your factory hole for more adjustment.

Rear SPC kit will not correct much more than 1 degree. Go to the SPC site to check what the actual correction amount is. The Adjustable Rear RCA like what Exact sells (CL Vendor) does 2 things, it corrects camber up to 3 degrees and it raises the Roll center, minimizing the squirrley rear end when taking aggressive turns, hence the name RCA, roll center adapter.

The SPC rear kit is super cheap now... The extra camber would put you into spec that will be good enough to keep your tires even longer.

Roll Center Adapter? R.C.A. cool. I learn something new everyday......LOL. Im lowered with Tanabe NF210's which is not too aggressive, but if I were lower, Id consider the RCA's.
