Camber correction

Just installed Rs-r Super Down springs, also have 20mm spacers in the front and 25 in the rear. I was just wondering as to whether I only need front camber bolts and rear lower control arms?

Depends on what your camber is now and how much you want to adjust it. Bolts up front will give you an adjustment range of around +/- 1*, possibly more. The rear LCA's will give you a much bigger range, but if you're adjusting it too much you'll also need aftermarket toe links or you'll run into issues getting the rear toe within spec.

How low is your car? Measure from center of hub to edge of wheel well.

This doesn't really help. They are suppose to drop 1 inch in the front and 1.2 in the back.

Camber bolts or rear lower control arms are not absolutely necessary but they are nice to have to increase or reduce camber settings. What you do need is to get the toe aligned properly so you don't eat at your tires. If you want more or less camber, then purchase the camber bolts or LCA. Will PM you.

0* camber front, -1.5* camber rear IIRC, not sure of the caster up front or toe at either end.
