Lowering and control arm questions!
 
SO since i cant bag my bag because someone messed up down the line, i decided to save some money and go with the coil-overs setup. In order to make my wheels stanced the way i would like them i was talking to a mechanic and told me i need major bodywork OR shorter control arms, does this exist?

and when you guys lowered the car, did anyone get any slight camber or does the wheel tuck in or go outwards? HELP needed plz!

I was wondering about your Monte jsut a few days ago. So never can bag it or just need other parts?

I never have a problem doing an alignmnet on my lowered Monte, always get within spec for toe in / out, caster / camber.

Could you have shorter control arms fabbed from your stock ones? Or get the BMR aftermarket ones and have them cut back pretty close and re-welded? They do then have adjustable turnbuckles for the final adjustments.
