Is there a possibility that it can work with spring/strut combo's? I don't want to purchase a new coilover set.

You have to have coil over suspension in your car to use these kits to correct your camber problem!

Why will this only work with coilovers? Is it because of the added drop from the kit? If I am running a shock/spring combo with about a 2 inch drop (DF210) the added 3/4 inch drop should still have clearance. The car will be 3/4inch lower but the RCA should still allow for factory spec alignment. Am i missing something?

EXACT - do you do more adjustable components which provide adjustment for more negative camber also? i am unsure how much natural camber my car will acheive when lowered but i may be looking for around -3 up front and -4 - -4.5 down back

What you are missing is:
The posts on this thread are confusing the discussion because the the topic was originally about the rear RCA's and now people are asking about the fronts and mixing the two answers together.

Rear RCA's are adjustable camber and drop the car between 3/4 and 1" and CAMBER CAN be adjusted back to spec.

Front RCA's drop the car about 1", but there is NO CAMBER adjustment.

If you raise the front coilovers back up 1 inch after installing the RCAs, then in theory additional negative front camber will be lessened by that 1 inch "less" drop. Since most people will still drop their car more than the 1 inch from stock, you will still experience some negative camber. Say if you drop 3" or more, even with the RCA's you will not be able to get your front camber back to factory spec, but it shouldn't be as bad as if you didn't use the RCA's.

So technically, you can use the Front RCA's without coilovers as a way to get another 1 inch drop without going to coilovers, but without raising the car 1", the CAMBER WILL NOT be improved.


So for the rear RCA's you ALSO don't need adjustable coilovers and the CAMBER CAN still be adjusted back to stock spec, BUT then the rear would be 3/4" dropped more then the front, so the front RCA's would then be needed to level the car out.

Long answer, but I don't think there is a shorter version without leaving some information out.

RMM thanks for clearing that up
so the rear will be able to get back to factory spec but not the front. Is there anything to fix the camber in the front to get back to factory spec?

These front & rear camber kits actually are lowering blocks, your car has to have coil over suspension in order to install these camber correction. These blocks lower your car by approximately 1 inch, so you have to adjust the coil over suspension higher by 1 inch, then your car will has less camber.
For the rear camber kits are adjustable, we made two different inserts that you can choose which to insert when installing in the car determine by how much your car camber.
Very, very important note! You have to align your car immediately after you installing these kits, driving without aligning can result in severe tires wear & handling issues!

We have a demo on our site: www.exactmotorsports.com
Good news GS owners! We finally have the rear RCA done & ready to ship, limited supply on hand. PM us or call Sandy to reserve.

So the front and rear camber kits came in a day earlier than expected. Judging by the pics posted, I have a good idea where the rear RCAs are mounted--behind brakes.

What I don't know is where the front camber kit mounts to? I'm sure I'll figure it out tomorrow when I install them, but if anyone can post up where you install it I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Here's what the front camber kit looks like:
