Default Negative camber with only coilovers??

Is the camber adjustable in the rear without camber arms? I'm looking to add a little camber to keep my tires from rubbing.

Damn, that sucks. I was trying to get away with not running a smaller tire.

Will lowering it give me more -neg camber?

I guess i'll try lowering it some more to get the clearance i need. If thats not enough i'll look into a camber arm.

If i go with the figs mega arm, do i need the toe arm too.

The Megan's are designed for that. To even out the camber to positive if you have too much negative camber. You should be fine.

First off the Figs is about $425ish. If you do an alignment, that'll tell you if you need to adjust toe.
