it might be difficult to fit 19"s without adding camber, but then again i AM NOT speaking from experience, but in general.

anyways, to reduce camber, you can buy fully adjustable upper/lower control arms.
just google 'reducing camber' or some ****.

I am running 19's with megan lp's and do not have any camber issues.
That being said, I only slightly lowered the car (AWD) to avoid the common wobble issues on this model.

I do love the ride of the LP's. Generally, the lower you go, you will have camber issues.

Fig's engineering rear camber arms, rear toe links and caster arm bushings. Factory caster bushing is a joke in the link is a video of how much the caster bushing shifts under load. Toe links to adjust your toe cause more than camber, toe being out or in wears tires faster. And then lastly rear lower control arms which have camber adjustability. For the front, SPC makes an adjustable press in upper ball joint to correct camber up front. If you are buying stuff from figs engineering he has the spc ball joints in stock as well. Those are some of the suspension components I used in my build, link below.

how come in the video the screw or nut part pops out of the bushing for the superpro bushing? Is it suppose to be doing that?

Camber doesn't necessarily kill your tires, it's more about the toe.
The only misconception about camber killing tires is because that's usually the only contact patch, hence making it look as if it's the camber chewing away.

I had -4.5 degrees of camber on my car and had no problem because my toe was in spec.
