Default Reommendation for camber kits?

Hey fella's I'm in the market for a camber kit or camber adjustment kit for my S. I've looked around and i know there are the megan racing arms and ball joints (any feedback on these?) and there are very nice quality SPC ball joints that help out +/- 1.5 degrees. I was wondering what you guys are using out there. My plans are to go no more than -5 (if that) when I get the wheels in the spring. I hear stock goes till -3 so paired with these ball joints this could work. Curious as to what you guys use?

My last car was lowered 2.5" with no camber kit. I got an alignment to get the camber and toe as close to factory spec as possible, and when I took my wheels/tires off after 7k miles there was absolutely no uneven wear.

I have the s2k lowered about .75" to 1". Again, no camber kit but an alignment. After 6,000 miles there is no uneven wear in the tires.

I would just lower the car and get an alignment as close to factory spec as possible. Remember, toe will eat tires way faster than camber will.

Good to know but I'm actually looking to go with negative camber for when I get my wider wheels.

Why do you want so much camber? Does riding on the rim get exciting lol?

My car is currently at -3.1 maxed out in front for my height, and -2.8 maxed out in rear for my height. if i went lower it would probably be -3.5/-3.5

if you need more camber than that, chances are you shouldn't be running that wheel
