Control Arms

Please no negative comments as this is a stance question.

Im looking to get negative 8 degree camber or more and was wondering what the best adjustable control arm and or what else would be needed to achieve this.

Thanks!

To try and get close to that much camber you'll need upper and lower arms. That way you can pull the uppers short and lengthen the lowers to gain as much as you can. Don't know if you'll get to 8 deg, but that will be the easiest way to try.
We use the Hsports as they are the best arms.

Ill disagree, I prefer helix with the booted Mono ball ends.
However i do have a set of used H sport in good shape if you want a good deal on a set.
Just PM me.

Not criticizing just inquiring.... Doesn't that much camber make you ride on the edge of your tires? Won't that unevenly wear them out? What's the function of this?

I second the Hotchkis Adjustable Control Arms. They're a very quality product and can give you camber adjustable from 0 to -4 degrees. Not the 8 you're wanting, but a very aggressive degree nonetheless.

The Helix control arms are (IMHO) the strongest and lightest on the market.
