just go max neg. camber all around and it will be fine. If they will loosen up the rear bolts and force a little more neg. camber that would be alright too. Are you or have you been auto-xing up there?

That sounds like a good approach, as maxing out the negative isnt all that much anyways.

should you still max with RCE springs? the lower springs will increase it no?

Upfront the spring doesn't really do much. But in the rear you'll want to take out as much camber as you can. After installing my RCE's I had like 2.4 in the rear. After taking out as much as I could I was still justover 2.

By take out you mean bring the camber back in? so in the rear the springs increase the neg camber and you adjusted it all the way back in and were at 2?

In/Out whatever. I stook them as upright as I could. I went from about 2.4 to about 2.0 neg camber.
