What is a rear arm? Is that a sway bar? I thought my 370 already has in the back?

It refers to replacing the stock rear camber arms with aftermarket ones. Typically, the stock arms do not provide enough camber adjustment with shorter springs in place. SPC makes decent arms that easily accomplish this objective.

When people talk about SPC camber arms and products. They refer to them as decent. Many say that there isn't a good camber kit out there yet? What do SPC or other companies lack in their kits that make them only decent? Just curious...
