Default Front camber arm needed - Please Help!

My front camber is a little bit out of spec (-1.8) after installing the Tein S-Tech springs. Therefore, I'm looking for a front control arm for daily driving. I just need one that can fix my camber because I don't track my car or anything.

Thanks.

That's about .5 degree out of spec. Being out of spec with S-tech's is pretty rare, odd's were with you that'd you'd be ok. What rear specs did you end up at?

I'd go with the Cusco or SPL front arms.

1.8 is perfectly livable for a street car.

are you current specs with the alignment tech trying to make them as equal as possible. Usually they can get .2 adjustment out of each side. I would get arms if i couldn't get them within .3 of each other.

Toe settings are critical to controlling tire wear. For a owner making a post because he is concerned about tire wear I would actually have the car aligned again by a different shop to get a second opinion. No matter what, set front toe in to 1mm and rear camber to no more then -1.3 and rear toe in to 1.5mm. If cannot get those number, spend the money to correct on which ever end of the car you couldn't. You don't want front camber higher then -1.3, again based on you wanting to control tire wear and not having a desire to track the car.
