I just went with adjustable camber bolts in the front. The rear were a little (.1 degree) out of spec, but I rotate the tires every oil change(400 miles) and haven't noticed any abnormal wear in the 12,000 miles I've had it lowered on the Eibach Pro's.

Lots of options for this if you search around a bit in this suspension sub-forum. I have adjustable camber bolts up front and SPC lower control arms with camber adjustability in rear running Eibach pro kit springs.

This.

Basic, simple, gets the job done, and affordable.

We have SPC camber kits in stock and Whiteline should be coming in very soon. The SPC LCA are also in stock

No, they cannot.

You will need new control arms or you can buy new bushings with adjustable bolts from Whiteline. These will replace the OEM bushings in the control arm to give you camber adjustment. Of course, pushing in bushings is a P.I.T.A, as well....

The bolts from whiteline work pretty well for the rear. I have my rear camber at -2.0 and am not to the limit of adjustment. The bushings really aren't too bad as long as you have a press (not something that will work with a socket and hammer). But for me the most frustrating part was trying to put the control arm back on the car when the offset bushings aren't aligned the same.

How much camber do you plan on running? I was only able to get -1.3 up front using crash bolts. Will be getting camber plates in the near future.
