Default Camber question

I did my alignment the other day and my camber was -2 all the way around. My question is, which would be a better buy? Spc front and rear camber kit or front and rear rca's?

I'm drop on Ksport coilovers and my rim size are 20".

Thanks.

And can someone tell me the price for front and rear rca's? I found the price for the spc. It's $475 shipped.

Front RCAs won't correct your front camber much at all. The SPC will correct your camber as much as you desire and also fix castor as well, which no other set up will do. If you're running slammed there may be interference with bottoming the a-arm when using the SPC, but otherwise it's good.

SPC rear on the other hand does not correct much over 1 degree of camber, so in this case if you want more correction, thenthe adjustable rear RCA is the better choice. as for pricing contact Exact or Todd for their pricing on rears.

Thanks. That's everything I needed to know

Wait, the fronts allow for adjustable caster? I have 7.4 on one side and 8.0 on the other. I can't stand it pulling. Will this allow me to fix it?

Yup, but look up the arms on the SPC site to see what the increments are.
