More Low, Less Camber

Do adjustable lower control arms help with this? With all these cars I see being lowered, I see -3* of camber and it looks like the rear wheels are broken or bent. I'm not a huge fan of the cambered tire look.

If you install adjustable rear control arms can you lower the car and adjust the camber to as close to 0* as possible so the wheel is actually straight and flush with the car?

If not anyway to enlighten me on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

well to lower your car you will need either springs or coilovers. lower control arm will help adjust the camber after you lower it. lower control arms are for the rear only. for the fronts, you will need either camber bolts or camber plates. and you do not want 0* camber. you will want some negative camber. i think it around ~-1.5* camber should be good.
