Lower Control Arms(CAMBER ARMS)- offset/angles comparision

So I am weak on my suspension basics:
if there is a thread you can direct me to that covers this, much appreciated, I'll delete this, PM Me

so...

how do I go and choose the right LCA? some are steel, some alum, some offset, some not, some look flimsy and are less money, some cost more, why buy them?

is aluminum a risk for r-compound use?

is having offset helpful, or not?

are some designs weaker from a failure angle?

is fatigue a concern with hollowed out alum? most oe alum isnt hollow looking at mini's and BMW porsches etc

I dont want to discount random posts, but there are guru's in this crowd, RCE, strano's etc type guys who I am looking for feedback from who can tell me why one is beneficial for someone with my needs



Money aside,
what matters as far as differences functionally between

whats different there vs the above, etc?


using a lobed H&R bolt in the stock innermost factory location, I can get pretty close to symmetrical in the back, on an alignment rack, static rear camber close to -1.8L/2.0R with the stock LCAs, but I am dropped a bit over an inch front and rear(1.5) on GC race coilovers.

My shop didnt take a caster angle on the rear end, so I am clueless as to what if anything needs to be done.

Toe is fine in the back at present .005" each side
What do I need in a camber arm an why?
what else do I need to adjust?
