For the rear, you need a rear adjustable camber link. The stock link is fixed and it becomes a real problem when you lower the car more than 2 inches.

The front will require strut camber plates.

The FC rear suspension uses a semi trailing arm setup. I think Racing Beat makes the adjustable camber link for our FC's. Contact ilike2eatricers. I think he is still selling his.

As for camber plates, a bunch of companies make plates. Cusco is one thats pretty good.

As they've said, once you have the rear camber link, it should help you get the camber range you're looking for. Im at -2.6R with 3/32 toe in.

The front is a McPerson strut the rear is a semi-trailing arm. The camber plates are for the front only, you need some sort of adjustable link to change the camber in the rear.
