Don't worry too much about the weight. You could just get a light weight battery.

Other ways to add camber out front- slot the strut holes, camber plates, or another set of camber bolts.

Putting the camber bolt in the top hole will get you a little more than the bottom hole. So will putting the crash bolt in the top hole and the camber bolt in the bottom hole. Putting camber bolts in both holes will get you more than the previous options.

Right now SPC LCAs are $208 at FT-86 SpeedFactory. That's about what everyone else is charging too, except for a couple sites that seem pretty sketchy and sell the arms individually. Those are probably your best value per dollar for LCAs, especially if you don't hardcore track your car.

Get your front camber set and then put your rear camber about 0.5 under it. So -1.5F/-1.0R, that kind of thing. Zero camber will make for some strange handling. Have just a bit of toe-in in the rear, and zero toe in the front.

I am buying some LCAs from a member on here for just a little more than the SPC arms.
I was thinking about -1.5 and -.5 from all the research I have done on this car. Should I bump it up to the -1?

I would think so, but ask @Racecomp Engineering, they'll be able to give you much better advice than I can.
