Default Do I really need Camber Arms?

Hi guys,

As you guys are aware, I'm running 20mm spacers on stock suspension right now. I have the RSR springs which I will be installing soon. As things stand, my rear wheels have an obvious negative camber to them, I'm sure once the springs are installed, that will increase.. and most probably contribute to my rear inner tyre wear.

So, should I go ahead and order the Control Arms from SPC? WHat about fender rubbing if I do?

Just your thoughts please.

Yes good to have to make your camber more towards OEM specs.

Have the SPC ones in stock!

check out my vidoes they will help u out
I lowered my gsf on Cks coils and installed the rear camber arms so i can have a little less camber in the rear to reduce inner tire wear. My rear camber after the alignment we set it at 1.5 degree negative camber.

how does it ride? Do you feel any difference from stock springs? Does it make any difference when you switch mode? Sports +?

Personally ? Absolutely no difference. It rides great.

I find myself being more careful on humps and dips now, but don't need to cause the stock ride on this car is very firm anyway.

My car is a 2016. I don't have adjustable suspension modes
