As far as fitment goes, sometimes negative camber isnt "Good" camber. For example, the front LCAs being on a Mcpherson setup, Dialing in more negative camber will give you LESS clearance . (same effect on the GD Subarus with Mcpherson all around) On our rears, the LCAs do help for fitment clearance, but the uppers will give you alot more room between tire and fender. LCAs will kick out the bottom of the knuckle/wheel while upper arms will pull in the top of the knuckle/wheel.

Just curious, lets say on stock LCA , trailing, toe links, Whats the maximum negative camber possible with your upper control arms?

Appreciate this info a lot.

I originally had upper camber bushings, LCA's and toe arms on order but after reading this I think I will try and cancel that order and just go with the upper arms for now.

All I want to do is tuck my rear wheels because my offset is pretty aggressive and 4 degrees should do it. If not I'll
revisit the LCA option again.
