Default camber arms help

ok so ive decided to just remove that camber in the rear from lowering the car.... i was gonna install the 20mm h&r spacers to push out the tire and make it flush.... my question is i can install camber arms to remove that camber and make it flush right?

Do your camber adjustment before u do the spacers so you know how much room you got to push out the wheels.

SPC is better. That's what I have. I want running a 25mm spacer and sitting perfectly flush with 0 camber.

I thought I wouldn't need them but you really do. When you adjust the camber arm it also messes with the toe alot. You'll need both.

ok quick question what is the difference with

SPC and SPL? there is like a 100 bucks difference on the brands? also what the heck is a toe links? do i need those too to fix my camber in my car?

sorry im completely a noob to this....

also is the brand kenitix any good? they have a kit at z1 performance for camber arms and traction arms for a great price not to mention they use energy suspension bushings

From what I've been reading you'll be fine with any of them if you're just street driving. You'll probably be ok with just camber arms as well.

If you're dropped more than an inch and a half you'll need the toe bolts too
