Aftermarket Rear LCA's purpose

To my understanding after market rear lower control arms are to adjust the rear camber of our cars right? Nothing else?

control arms are part of a series of parts designed to attach the wheel assembly to the chassis while allowing movement in a 3D plane

their relative position is responsible for the static and dynamic alignment of the vehicle, camber being one of them, as well as the weight transfer forces and moments created during the operating of your vehicle...

their rigidity, reliability and weight are generally points of interest that are discussed by tuners, as is its appearance.


so no, they don't "just adjust camber"

I want to improve the handling of my tank; I'm finding it not handling that well over bombed roads, destroyed buildings and the grip becomes a little iffy when I drive over enemy troops. What I need is for it to be comfortable when I'm cruising down the highway at 20km/h but when the action starts I need to have the ride height raised to get over the dead bodies and burnt out cars. I only have $180 to spend. The Führer likes Raceland coils so I might have to go with them but I've read they're pretty good at everything. I also need bigger driving lights to cut through the fog of war.
