Camber bolts help

hi, I was wondering if I lowered my car 1.5 with tein s techs. Would I be able to use the camber bolts for the rear? The front is okay but the back isn't. I don't want to spend a lot on the whole control arms and everything. If there is a bolt witch would be he best to buy? Thank you

There are no bolts designed for the rear. You can modify some to work, but they're not ideal.

If you're on a budget, look at the SPC rear control arms.

Rear upper control arm bushings with camber adjustment would be cheapest if you can do your own labor. But if you cannot then it wil work out to be the same sort of cost as doing the lower control arms.

Do you have a brand of bushings that would be best?

Only whiteline makes the rear camber bushing. But you need a press and air hammer to get the stock bushings out. They are also a PITA to adjust So unless you have a shop hook up to install and a good alignment shop locally LCAs are the best option.

I do have the bushings and love them though, but I have a hook up and did some leg work myself. Really the definition of a PITA install.

The whiteline UCA bushings are like $150, the SPC LCA's are like $200. You'll spend more than $50 extra in labour to have the bushings installed and adjusted.
