How are you going to get -2.5 camber? You can only get about -1.5 with the bolts, which is what I have and is what affects your tire/strut clearance.

If you use camber plates, you don't need the camber bolt and the clearance will be fine.

I mean with RCE springs. Shouldn't their lowering gain more camber?

Not that much - you'll get about -1.5 with the bolts and lowering.

You really would be better off on not buying konis and RCE springs, and just buying coilovers and be done with it.

Konis are already done, just not installed. I want to finish most of this year under RTR.

Understood - you'll need to find a no raise camber plate that works with stock sized springs. Not sure if such a thing exists.... yet!

I was really hot on these rims, thinking they'd weigh ~17lbs--but 21 is just too heavy when 15-16lb Weds are out there for not too much more. Every pound counts in my car's prep.

The TC105Ns poke pretty badly w/ stock alignment, but should tuck in nicely @ -2.5--2.8 camber.
