Not really. And it sharpens the handling nicely.

I was hoping I could just get the rear camber bolts and get it back to "stock" which I've seen is posted as 1.5 in the rear. So if the bolt can adjust .5 I should be set but I'm still not sure.

So this camber bolt goes in between the hub and upper A arm?

I was only able to get about -2.3 with the bolts at a one inch drop with the rear bolts. I think LCA are kind of needed for any springs unless you don't care for handling and tire wear. :/

Thanks for all the replies. I think Fr-shred confirmed it. To lower our cars we need lower control arms....fail.

With trd springs and bilsteins I landed at ~1.6 in the rear w/o lca's. With camber bolts and crash bolts combined up front I was able to get it even at 1.9 up front. Toe was straightened f&r

I'm at -1.3 degrees of camber in the back and I'm on stock suspension. I guess every car will fluctuate in regards to rear camber due to variation in assembly. I think a more accurate value would be measuring the before and after camber to know about how much lowering your car will affect the camber.

This.

Every car is different. You won't know until you do it BUT lowering even an inch will more than likely require bushings or LCA to be able to have a "good" alignment. Even the above post with -1.9 R and -1.6 R isn't ideal. Its not bad and to be honest I would probably take it right about now.. but you would probably want -1.9F / -1.0R but like it said you could live with that for a DD.
