Default SPC Performance questions:

i'm considering installing camber adjusters in the rear of my 90 2wd civic wagon; it is lowered, but i'm not having any particular tire wear issues. i mostly want to "dial-out" a little bit of negative camber for handling purposes; the car runs around 2.5 degrees negative on each side in the rear, and i'd like to bring it up to 1.7-2 degrees.

anyway, to my questions:

the 67030 camber arm looks to be exactly what i want for the camber side of things, and the 69460 toe adjuster appears to infinitely better than the stock method, but what is the point of the 69200 clearance arm? what does it "clear"? do i need them? if so, why?

instead of pulling in the top of the tire to put in more positive camber the
arm pushes out the bottom of the tire to do the same, except that its non adjustable.

i hope you mean the opposite of what you said: if you push the bottom of the tyre out, camber becomes more negative not more positive...

The upper camber adjusters f'ing rock. I've had nothing but headaches fromt he toe adjsuters, though. They're too long for our cars, but the stockers were too short. I'm having to get the SPC toe adjusters milled down about an inch a side to make them work to correct all my toe out woes.

The lower clearance arms use the stock dimensions, they are just there for bling and a small amount of weight reduction. MAYBE a pound or two.. Trust me.
