And what would getting rear lca's benefit? I'm new to suspension sorry for the noob question.

What @Ashikabi said. Rear struts are non camber adjustable for our cars. We need adjustable lower control arms if you want to adjust the rear camber.

you can get a rear adjustable lca so you can adjust your rear camber. My car is also a DD and is setup with Flex Z and SPC lca, just around $1k for both. Easy enough to install too, just get an alignment after.

EDIT: sorry for the late reply. But it is what @Ashikabi and @MisterSheep said.

A tip: when buying suspension parts, always get adjustable even if you think you don't need it, cuz if you change your mind it's gonna be expensive

So would i be correct in assuming if you had lca's for the front then you would be able to add more camber than the camber plates on the coilovers provide?

Camber bolts are a much more efficient way of getting that little extra bit of camber that you need. I wouldnt recomend lower control arms for the front as they aren't really needed.

Unless you trying to look like this...

Hypothetically yes, but to my knowledge nobody makes one and it would be more expensive than the other options (camber bolts and plates).

Edmunds had the car on a lift and made good pictures pointing out the components about 3.5 years ago, should help explain a lot when people start talking about changing suspension bits.

Unless you want to go super low, I'd recommend against getting coilovers for daily driving. If I had to do it over again, I'd just get springs and Bilstein HD's. Every time you make height adjustment, you pretty much have to get an alignment done. Plus you have to worry about the threads getting messed up and possible corrosion issues. Not to mention the suspension geometry issues that come with lowering the front end too much. Just my two cents on the topic.

I've been researching a lot of suspension threads and have pretty much settled on Tein Flex Z's myself. I'll need to do a little extra research on this, but from my understanding you can go for a really minimal drop ie 20mm or so and also have a really nice ride for the street that's even more comfortable than the revised dampers used in the MY15+ cars.

Here is some propaganda on the product http://www.tein.com/products/flex_z.html
