The more you lower it, the more negative camber you'll get.

Otherwise, you need adjustable upper control arms.

bumping this because i'm wondering if i was to get adjustable rear upper control arms, are they able to be set shorter than OEM rear upper control arms? as to provide more negative camber?

another question, are 88-91 rear UCA's the same length as 92-95 rear UCA's?

try ingalls eccentric bushings to get more negative camber. racers use them, because they love negative camber.

i think i remember them being the same length, but different bushings. not 100% certain.

you must be thinking of the front UCA's when you suggested the eccentric bushings as i don't know where you could use them in the rear?

i was referring to a set like these:


it lists that they are adjustable from -2 to +3 degrees, so that would make me think that they would be able to add some negative camber if you wanted. i'm assuming that OEM would be near 0 degrees camber, right?

I have the ones pictured above, (spc) and at my ride height i could probably get over, -3.5 in the rear if i wanted that much.

Up front -3.7 is the most i can get, with omnipower UCA.
