I have the shorter arms, but the actual fix is new springs like Striker said. It brought camber back into spec. Beck Arnley makes the shorter arms now, so it would cost half of the OEM arms I used.

Does your car need shorter arms? Just FYI, you lose some suspension articulation with them, i.e. slightly stiffer ride.
It's a project car I have with my son. We plan on lowering it slightly with the RS*R Down springs. I still want to be able to get alignment within spec after the 1-1.5 inch drop.
Have you looked into megan racing adjustable camber arms? I have those on my car and the adjustment is nice for getting the camber and toe dialed in for alignment. I had the down springs on my car for a short period. They were really smooth with KYB struts. Just remember to trim the bump stops the same amount as the drop height from the springs.

Thanks for the link. I remember reading somewhere that the shortest arms would put things back into spec, so I think I'll go that route. I do like the adjustability of the Megans, but they're a bit rich for me. Appreciate the help!
Put some adjustable camber arms in it like it should have had from new !!
Also my brother has an 04 in NZ and his actually has adjustable factory arms in it , apparently the factory tow kit has adjustable rear arms .
