Borden - I am lowered on KW's and have taken it down farther than I like for this car. In doing so I've seen what the effects of lowering does to the camber on this vehicle as well as how it handles corners. I haven't aligned it just yet and am only guessing that the camber for the rears is verging on -3 based on visual appearance. I am going to bring it back up a bit to correct this to some degree but want to maintain about a 1.5" drop all around. This car has no camber adjustment built in, none. The only way to adjust and get the car where you want it is to buy something aftermarket. I originally posed the question because I was searching for information. You suggest in your post to know what it is you are doing before moding the car. That is why this thread was created was to explore the two options for my situation. I will not know exactly where the alignment specs should be for
my driving until I try it out.
There are 2 options available. Camber Bushings or Adjustable Rear Control Arms. Camber Bushings will give me an advertised adjustment up to +/-.75 and stated by users to be more in the +/-.5 range. Control arms will give me a very wide range and are easily adjustable. If I go with bushings I may still need the arms to achieve an acceptable (to me) camber spec due to the narrow window of adjustment offered with bushings. If I go with arms I can adjust over a large range and if it changes the geometry too much I can add adjustable toe and swap trailing arms. An alignment will tell me if this is needed if the toe can't be corrected or things simply won't fit.
I am DDing this car until spring and at that time I will start putting it on the track. I may or may not turn it into a dedicated track car eventually but it will at least be out there on occasion. I want to set it up with -1.5 in the rear and -1.75 in the front as a starting point and see how it drives. To do this I will need camber plates up front to get to -1.75 and adjustable arms in the rear to be able to get back from the -3 I
think I am at. Bushings wouldn't even get me back to -2.
I think there will be a lot of users on here who are looking for a great stance and still trying to achieve great performance. There is no boxed solution for this so we must ask questions, modify, adjust, and modify some more if necessary to achieve what we are looking for. With a new platform, trial and error is how we learn.
