Default I don't think it's needed if lowered less than 1/2 inch. But for springs it would be no more than

1/2 KMAC for sure.

Default I have adjustable arms, and I got an alignment, but they are definitely cambered. So i'll try the

half K-mac and see if those arms can come in anymore. thanks

Default Maybe they screwed up....>

Some camber is normal, in fact spec is around -2 degrees. Most every set of arms I've seen have plenty of adjustment to get a seriously lowered car cambered correctly. You do have them mounted on the bottom, right?

Here are some good numbers to shoot for. Dig out your alignment chart and see what they did..

yeah, they're on bottom. I honestly think they didn't adjust them at all.
