You don't need the rear bushings or lower control arms with the RCE yellows or TRD springs.

Get the springs and camber bolts for the front. Have the person doing the alignment dial in as much camber as they can up front with the bolts, 0 out the toe front and rear, and enjoy your car!

anyone running RCE springs or STI springs, and set the camber to stock settings instead of going more negative? i don't want too much camber and i feel like with such a modest drop, the stock camber setting should be fine?

Some say I need rear control arms/bushings for neg. camber, some say it happens on its own. I guess I'll have to live dangerously and chance it..

you'll gain some camber in the rear with a drop using all oem parts (minus the springs) but you will not be able to adjust it.

unless there's something else wrong, you should be OK w/ the resulting figures.

make note though that there are multiple users on here who have reported slightly different amounts of camber for right vs left in the rear. unless you need to have that adjusted to a specific number, you will be fine. have the alignment tech straighten the toe and you should not notice any excessive tire wear for your daily driving/occasional fun drives.

*making the assumption here that anybody who is looking for competition use would not be asking this question and would be making adjustments to their own specified specs.

+1 to this, and I've run the TRD springs. Rear camber was damn near perfect. Unless you have a freak of a car it shouldn't be very different.
