For your tires? That's called negative camber.

Just get a rear Megans camber kit and set it to the negatives.

I believe SPC recently made a front camber kit for the 2IS also...not 100% sure though.

You only need the upper camber arms, one outta the three. You can correct your toe when you go alignment. The lower part? Are you talking about the lower control arm? You can go more negative if you have both I believe

U got the point.. Ok If I get the upper camber arm and willing to adjust to / \ and do the toe correct when I go do alignment.. What about other parts? What is Traction ARM do? And is that bottom part is camber or adjust caster or adjust toe????

"These Traction rods also allow for fine-tuned adjustments to the rear suspension geometry. By changing the length of the traction rod you change the position and pitch of which the suspension rotates upon and you change the amount of "Anti-Squat" of the rear. Although the adjustment is minimal, it can change the behavior or the vehicle during weight transfer." - Megan Racing

I believe the lower control arm only does camber

I spoke to the guy work at the shop, he told me the traction rods help adjust the toe correct but we have stock toe.. I was very confuse.. IF I get upper camber, Im not really sure if they can go more // \\.. I wish I have one simple answer

How negative are you planning to go? You can adjust the camber arm up to 1.5"

You should measure shock and sway mounting holes as well.

If it is swappable, it doesn't make sense why the 1IS mega arms from figs are like, half the price compared to 2IS.

Check FIGSENGINEERING, they have a rear LOWER camber arm and are coming out with an UPPER front camber/caster arm soon I hope. Click on the vender site at the top of this page and scroll down to FIGS
