    normal rcas ftw, not a huge fan or ncrca

    cos i normally get my camber and track from pillow ball arms and tops but yeah

    both effective in their own right

    what do you want to achieve

    do you need more camber and track

    Its really something you need to decide based on your cars modifications and your driving preference as to which one you want.

    As a part, both items are sound and reliable (rca, nrca) as long as they are made from quality material (t3, cusco, ajps etc).

    My personal opinion is that they are a very worthy modification if you have a lowered car, and that if you would like some camber in the front than a nrca is a cost effective way of doing this!

    Obviously you need a thicker rca the lower your car is to account for the control arms upwards angle. Returning the control arm to a stock angle will provide less bump steer and a more predictable ride. A offset or nrca will do the same thing, but with the added bonus of adding some camber to your front end, which will you give you better turn in and mid corner grip though it will negatively affect your tyre wear and straight line braking.

    Your question is pretty broad but i tried to cover most angles, if you need more info just be specific and i will do what i can!

    but only get ncrca if you need more camber and track and it is not adjustable

    Yeah definately, ncra would be great combined with camber tops.

    Also its worthy to note that the camber given will differ depending on your ride height

    yeh sorry about not being too specific. basically i'v got ajps front springs (6kg) and will be installing either my custom rosejointed 86 lca's which have adjustable camber (+10mm wider) or if i can find some xt130's i'l run with them. at a later date i'l be going coilovers so it will sit lower than it is currently. will also want better offset and wider wheels so i don't want too much more track (somewhere around15x8ish with around -5 offset)

    but yeh may look into nrca with cambertops i suppose cuz i can just eliminate a few degrees of camber as with these mods it should be around -5 or -6 degrees yeh? but i only want 2 or 3 tops

    With ncra and corona arms your looking at about 6 degrees...

    If your going to run those sized wheels i would say that corona arms and camber tops would be perfect. Just get a normal RCA

    With Battle Version NRCA's and T3 Cambertops, you're looking at -6.6. ^_^

    is that with the cambertops set to max positive? that would be really dangerous

    Everything is set at full negative. It drives just fine.
