NM Springs installed and need advice on camber correction

Hello, I won't be able to see my alignment shop for two weeks and I want to install a set of adjustable control arms in the lower rear positions to correct the camber. How many degrees or how much shorter should I make the aftermarket arms? I've driven for over a week now with the shorter springs and the rear camber is noticeable.

Thanks!

Sure, you're camber is increased significantly due to the lowering. With the adjustable control arms, you should be able to correct back to stock or wherever you want them for your handling preference.

We recommend the Hsport rear camber links over all the others. When you initially install them it is easy to match them to the stock lenght then go one full turn shorter. That will get it a little closer till you can get a proper alignment.
