Replace rear camber link with NM springs?

I installed my NM springs and did not replace the rear camber links. Not sure what the rear camber is now....looks good, but I'm not sure if I should worry about tire wear.....what did most of you do?

FYI your thinking of rear control arms. It really should not be necessary to replace them if you are just on springs.

I dunno about that. The rear camber gain is quite high, and the NM springs offer quite a bit of drop (1.2").

I would get the control arms just to make the handling better, simply because you shouldn't really have more camber on the rear than on the front on a MCS

I recommend getting a set of Hsport rear camber links. If you go get an alignment you'll find you have too much camber. The stock adjustment isn't enough. But I do think it's a good idea to let the springs settle before the alignment.
