-4 camber with front RCA..
I just put my coilovers in and sage front rca's. Went to get an alignment and the camber is still -4 with my rca's.. Is that correct? Is everyone with rca's lowered getting that much negative camber??

I'm lowered alot.. Don't know the amount but I'm about 2.5 inches from the ground. I thought rca's correct camber a little bit. I guess not. So looks like I'll need aftermarket uca's.

Aftermarket UCA may or may not help your situation as much as you want them to. Your upper control arm ball joints are already sitting at an angle that's less than desirable. Having the aftermarket UCA can help reduce negative camber, at the expense of having the ball joint sitting at an even more extreme angle. If you want to reduce camber without stressing out the upper joints as much, remove the RCA and get the adjustable UCA. The downside is the roll center gets worse and the lower ball joint is now angling even further. It's a give and take situation until someone comes up with a shorter knuckle and/or new lower control arms.

Being low isn't for the faint of heart
You're that low, it's already accepted that you're going to get a good amount of camber wear whether you're at -3.5 or -4 degrees.
I mean 2.5" off the ground is really low... Aren't you afraid of getting stuck on speed bumps? I've seen some that makes me want to make a U-turn and find an alternate route, and even I'm not that low
