IL So I need MORE negative camber...

I was able to kick the negative camber out on the stock accentrics to -3 in the rear and -2 in front. The thing is I don't want to lower my car any more to get more camber, I'm very satisfied with the hieight its at now.
*So my question is, what brand makes a good adjustable control arm that will allow me to get more NEGATIVE camber without adjusting my height?*

My camber in front is perfect, but the back needs more, so I'm looking for rear adjustable arms.
I'm on Tein S-techs and Koni-Yellows. Wheels in the fron are 18x8.5 +30 and 19x10 +20 in the rear. The tires are 255 in front and 275 in the rear; no stretch on either and I plan on keeping it that way.
My fenders are rolled and pulled out 1/2" on each side, the rear bumper has also been widened to align with the fenders. I still rub more than I would like this is why I want more negative camber in the rear.
Any help is appreciated, please no trolling for whatever reason.

Thanks
~Danny

Why are you asking again? You didn't head anyone's advice in your last thread

If you must, megan make adjustable rear links for relatively cheap. Not sure how much more adjustment you'd really get out of them though. @ -3 in the rear and looking for more, be glad you went with 275's. It will be like having a 205 as far as what actually ever touches the ground.

People helped a lot in the last thread! They told me about how the stock was adjustable. And the guy who kept talking about the "tabs" def helped. Last thread I needed camber, period; now I need MORE camber hahaha. The megan racing ones can go more negative right? Because in the description I saw it only talked about making it closer to zero.

but thanks

have you ever seen camber in person? My rears are at -3.2 right now and unless someone knows what they're looking at they wouldn't even be able to tell. Yes of course it is noticeable but its not as extreme as you're making it out to be. My friends s2k is at -5 camber for daily driving and yes its noticeable, but again not extreme.
Plus, I like the way camber looks as long as its not excessive like that disgusting scion. Take a look at my pictures, can you see excessive camber at -3.2? No. dumb ****.

LOL so he can't get rid of it.

Have you ever seen length? Have you ever seen width? Have you ever seen circumference? They are missing. They ran away and I must find them.

I think what's really missing here is that thing that fills the space between his ears.

im not hating on the guy, but his threads are pretty LOL

my best advice is LISTEN TO WHAT OTHERS ARE TELLING YOU, so far you've done the exact opposite

that's what I did and it more or less worked out.

This thread is like sticking your arm in a meat grinder and telling everyone that you need more bandages to control the bleeding.
