Default Rear Camber Arms or Bolts??

I'm looking at lowering my Z and wanted to know if I should run the Camber Arms or bolts in the rear? I did not know if the arms are better other than having more range of adjustibility... I Guess it would also depend on how low I was going but don't really know how low I'm going until I put wheels on. Any input would be great.

Run both...get some SPC camber arms and toe bolts and you'll be set.

Depends on your drop, depends on your car, depends on a lot. You may need none like my car 20mm drop , toe and camber are in spec. You may only need one or the other (most do both to be on the safe side)

+1. Depends mainly on your drop. The lower you are, the more your toe and camber is off. If you are on a decent drop, stock adjustment might be enough. If you are slamming, get the arms and bolts.

Very true.. The price for both is not that much of a cost... And I always have the option later to adjust if needed. I have H&R Coilovers for my 06 Z so I really dont know the amount of the drop just yet. Waiting on getting some new wheels first.Thanks for the input guys... Fairly new on here so just getting my feet wet on this forum thing.

be careful with this though because this could cost you more at the end as opposed to doing it all at once and doing it right. I've seen it plenty of times when guys don't do the necesary research before they blow their money on shiit not needed then on top of that they have to re-pay to un-install their shiit.

I just ment that If I got the arms I would have the option to adjust the camber later on if I wanted. Like for a day at the track and would want a more aggressive camber....

You would need a full alignment to add rear camber. Not to mention, if you run street tires on the track , you really don't need more than -2 , -1.6 to -1.8 would be best. Unless you run R comps.
