Why would you install adjustable arms for camber if you are going to set it the same as stock??

For me I was having an alignment anyway due to a curb incident and I didn't want any worse camber so I set it to what it was

shit, I wish It was that easy... I got the SPC camber kit and It is way more complicated than that. The damn cam bolt is confusing as hell and moves around when you try to tighten it down... Yay for skunk2 that design makes much more sense.

yeah, I've installed the SPC too but even tho it's more of a bitch to install it's a hell of a lot easier to adjust

I still don't understand that answer but ok!

If you are setting it to stock, you didn't need a camber kit right?

when you drop the car it gives you more camber than you need makeing the tires wear unevenly. so with camber arms he can put it back to stock and not have to worry about buying new tires.

He didn't set his camber angle to the stock specs after his drop, he set the "adjustable camber arms" to the same length as the originals.
