Default Need recommendation for adjustable rear camber/toe kit

Hello,
After installing coil overs and lowering my car I have more negative camber than desired. Stock alignment adjustments aren't going to get me back to where I need to be so I am looking for a good set of rear adjustable camber and toe arms to remedy my problems. I do track the car from time to time. Not looking to break the bank but I do want a reliable product. Thanks for the recommendations!

There aren't many (any?) good options under $1000 for rear camber ADJUSTMENT.

SPC upper joints work for camber correction. You need to run 17" wheels, and these aren't meant to be adjusters. Read the instructions on how to mount them, depending if you want NEGATIVE or POSITIVE camber correction. Take your best guess on the setting (remember that a little goes a LONG way) and lock them down. Then you use your stock adjusters to actually adjust.

Hardrace makes a good rear toe arm setup that's adjustable via turnbuckle.

SPC joints up front are easy enough to do the same with also.

However...its surprsing you can't get the spec you want.

Telling us what spec you want can help us help you.

Unfortunately I am on 16" wheels currently. Does anyone know anything available for 16" wheels? Why won't the SPC joints work on 16" wheels?

Because they are like 1" taller than stock. So it will rub on the barrel of the wheel. I think the front wheels are of particular concern. Rears are fine.

The old design worked with the factory 16's altogether. Maybe you can find old ones.

Edit: now I don't remember if the old design worked with 16" in the rear.

Anyway...if you told us what you were trying to do, there'd be a better chance of helping you out.

BUT...its definitely more fun reading mystery than non-fiction. So....10/10 on that.

Like the man above asked: what you tryna do?

What do you *think* you need for rear alignment settings and why? IMO if you can get around -2.5 rear camber and 0.15 degrees total rear toe-in, you're fine...

The rear is the issue on dialing in enough positive camber back after lowering, even with reasonable height if you still want street friendly camber. Either raise the car a bit more, or move to 17" wheels and run some spc upper camber joints to dial in the alignment you want. Those are the two options. Well not entirely true, I understand there is an offset bushing that can dial in some of the camber based on orientation, but not clear to me how it works. May not need 17" wheels for that option.

What is your desired,
given as ZD above said,more than -2.5 is not good from my findings on my set up anyway,<1 deg diff front & rear>non square>so many options...
the S2k is so critical on this..it needs care..or it will not work.

If you track the car from time to time, you're likely not going to want to use the factory alignment specs anyways.

How low are you? What is your alignment currently at?
