Im getting coilovers next week. Will I camber a lot when lowered 2-3"? My ride is lowered by 1.5". Would I be better off just buying rca's instead of coilovers?

I'm 3 inches lower than stock and on spec using the factory adjustments. A good shop is all I needed for a proper alignment.

lowering your car will naturally cause it to camber in a bit..

I lowered my car on BC 'extreme drops' and right out of the box I had no wheel gap with 19s and a 35 series sidewall. With that being said, my camber was around -4 degrees all the way around, and on stock bolts I couldnt dial much if any out.

I installed SPC camber bolts in the rear as well as FIGS toe arms, and then took it to get aligned, the front ended up setting in at around -3.5 degrees, the rear is -1.5.

I would like to get the front dialed out a bit more to around -1.75 but the stock bolts just wont do it.

Camber will be there whether you lower the car on coils or springs. Dont be fooled to think you wont have camber wear with a 3" drop. Toe adjustment wont do magic but it can help preserve your tire life.
