If you want absolute perfection to dial it in you will need rear camber arms. That being said if you just did a small drop on some springs you are good to skip those for now until you get a more aggressive drop or want to start dialing in specs for road racing.

Glad I saw this thinking about lowering spring and was wondering if these were needed. Thanks.

It depends on how low you are planning to drop the car and if you care about setting the camber back to (as close as you can get it with) factory specs.

My car is lowered on swift springs and I have not used a rear camber kit.

Hi there, I plan on lowering with springs about 1 " drop

this might be a no brainer question to some but I'd like to understand this well rather than blindly do what every one else is doing... considering both rv6 camber arms and spc adjust camber but from two different positions on the knuckle (upper and lower) is there any concern if one were to install both at the same time even if it was only to help reduce weight since they are lighter than oem

i don't fully understand why camber can be adjusted from two different positions on the knuckle (spc upper, rv6 lower)

again if one were to get both does that mean they can potentially run -6 °, 3 from spc and 3 from rv6 .... not that i would do that but just trying to understand what or how the oem was designed and what those two vendors were thinking when making two different replacement improved products for the same end goal

I am also curious about this... initially I just need rear camber adjustment, but eventually I'd like to swap all the rear suspension component with rubber bushing with the solid bushing counterpart.
Which one should I get first, SPC or RV6 camber arm ?

Not needed, but I did it for the sake of it, running SPC arms.

Same I didn't need it but i went with SPC and got the car re aligned. I dropped it 1" with the eibach kit car looks great even with factory wheels. Waiting on my spacers to come in to see how that'll make it look.

You can't really adjust the front unless you have coilovers. There are ball joints available but they don't really adjust but give a "setting" for 1 degree in the negative or 1 position in positive camber. All depends how low you go.
