Need clarification on Kinetix camber arm description!

So it speaks about bringing your camber into spec. What if I want to adjust for further negative camber? I'm dropped 2" or more, have -2.3 on rear, slight less

Default Need clarification on Kinetix camber arm description!

So it speaks about bringing your camber into spec. What if I want to adjust for further negative camber? I'm dropped 2" or more, have -2.3 on rear, slight less on front. Will this kit give me an addition -1.5 in adjustment ability or am I so low already there would be no point in getting these? It says from factory setting but my setup definitely isn't factory.

"The front suspension from the factory allows zero camber adjust-ability which can become a problem especially when lowering your car. Race enthusiasts also wish to add more negative camber to increase their handling without having to "slam" their car to achieve the desired camber. These arms will allow 1.5 degrees of positive camber, and 1.5 degrees of negative camber from the factory settings. So if your car is lowered 1.5" and the front camber is sitting at 2 degrees negative camber, these arms will allow you to bring them back out to .5 degrees negative camber."

Basically if you are slammed too much and you are getting extreme inside tire wear you are going to have to correct this. Im not sure if it will bring your tires back to where you aren't scrubbing off as much inside rubber but I think it is worth a shot. These camber arms work well and are a great product despite what others have said about them. The only problem I had with it was the upper ball joint was a little dry from factory, so I bought some mobil1 chassis lube and lubed them up pretty good. Atleast once a year it is a good idea to do it so that they don't dry out. I have 40k on them and still runnin strong.

Also another cool thing is if you get your alignment dialed in and you have a little scrub either way, you can jack the car up loosen one turn run your setting to find perfect even tire wear, that is if that is what you want to do. Hope this helps.

I get that I'd be able to improve my positive camber angle, my question is, would there still be adjustability on these arms to make even more negative camber.

If you are already dropped it would be further than what is described in their website. So yeah I dont see why not.
