Default Questions About Rear Camber

I have a 1998 LS400, I bought it with godspeed rear LCA on Silver Neomax Superlow. The previous owner was building the car to be stance/cambered out but my goal is to drift it. The rear camber currently sits at about -4.5 degrees. My alignment guy told me that they are currently as short as they will go and he can't do anything to lower my camber any further. He did mention that they could be assembled incorrectly but Im almost positive those come pre assembled.

I know lowering the car adds camber but the Godspeed camber arm advertises +3/-3 degrees adjustment than stock so I should be able to get pretty close to 0?

I ordered a set of stock arms on eBay as a comparison and I'm curious to see how the wheels sit with that. Appreciate any and all advice.

i have some battle version control rear lower arms (for sale - shameless plug) and they are indeed longer than the stock arms, even at full short.
likely the godspeeds you have are similar so you will need the factory toe links to get closer to 0 camber as possible. also the car has factory rear eccentric bolts on the subframe for more adjustability (where the toe links connect to), so i hope your alignment guy knew that.

btw, rear camber is usually on the negative side (even at factory) but i guess drifters like it at 0...

comparison!

I’m in riverside, I’ll honestly take those off your hands if you’ve got them in a week or two. Where could I find those bolts you mentioned ?

PM me when you're ready on the arms.

the eccentric bolts are factory and should be on the subframe already:


same bolt on the right, where the red toe arm connects to the subframe:
