With our cars as with many others with similar suspension designs, the lower the car the greater amount of negative camber. The amount of camber desired is dependent on total suspension setup, car application (dedicated track, track/street, aggressive street, .....) and driving style to name a few of the considerations. A high amount of camber may be good for a race car, but introduces quirky handling and excessive inside tire wear in a street car. Adjustable lower rear control arms are an easy way to compensate for the increase in rear camber when a car is lowered or to adjust the camber to achieve certain handling characteristics. Sometimes the increase in camber which results from lowering falls into an acceptable range without the use/expense of adjustable control arms.
