F & R RCA's Installed, Now I Have Issues (pics)

Sell your RCA and go with FIGS parts. If you have the newer coilovers, you can adjust height without affecting shock travel. The only reason, I can think of for having rca, is you want to install LS400 brakes -even then you can shave the crown of the bolt.
Sell both the front and rear rca and get the mega arm.
of, if you are not ready for fig's arm, go with the spc.

You would have to check with what he currently have. Also, from the look of the rear RCA setting, you are adding more negative camber. I think it should be flipped the other way. PM him.
double check with those who already have it installed (rear RCA).
Well, I remember the RCA was suppose to help with the LBJ too but I don't know for sure.

There is a reason to keep the RCAs, at least the front ones, and that's for roll center correction. Your end roll center may not be as good as stock, but it's sure better than not having RCAs. You trade off one thing for another.

Front camber...you look more lower now than before after RCA installed...that's why your front camber is more NEGATIVE now. Raise your coilovers up to get them more positive...the other alternative is adjustable upper control arms if you want to roll that low. Front RCAs help with lessen stress to your LBJs and corrects overall susp. geometry.
Rear camber...your current insert setting only provides minimal positive camber. You need to flip that insert setting around....so the insert hole is closer to your coilovers/shocks...that will give you the most positive camber correction....+3 degrees...according to EXACT, right?
Right now...your pics show the insert holes are closer to the rotors/wheels...that only provides minimal positive camber correction....and thats why you are still at -3 degrees camber. Plus, like the front RCA...you drop down a bit on the rear RCAs. If you did NOT raise your coilovers back up....you will not gain any meaningful positive camber.
Most ppl running rear RCAs need adjustable toe arms. So far, megans adjustable toe arms for the IS300 have been used...they go for ~ $155 on ebay. FIGS (authorized CL Vendor) just made a set without welds...PM him directly.
