    so i talked to the guys at the shop last night. They understood what my dilemma was and after looking up the adjustable control arms and watching a video on install they said ok that makes sense...yea we can do that for you.

    I'm waiting on a call back to see if they can get the control arms through one of their suppliers (of course, because they want to make money on the sale of them also) and if not I will buy them on my own and then make an appointment when i get them.

    something is different, whether its how its set up from factory or different components, but you can't lower these cars or any car without it creating more negative camber. There wouldn't be specialty made parts to correct the camber if you could

    obviously its different parts because mine is lower than yours stock and your having lots of issues.

    Unlike the stratus was. I swapped out for RT struts and 1.75" lowering springs and no camber issues.

    I think witch is probably 100% true that white 345 daytona guy lied about his install.

    He had his installed by a shop....who knows what he paid for install but maybe they were knowledgeable enough to just include camber kits in their price....or he has negative camber and just likes it

    Also your stratus had ways to adjust camber so I’m assuming you got an alignment and they were able to fix it

    He's probably like me in that the camber doesn't bother him.
