ah okay. I thought it was the opposite for some reason.
another thing I was wondering is, lets say I wanted the -2 or -3 degrees of camber after I get lowered on coils. I'll still get an alignment to make sure each side is even, but is there any reason for me to buy a camber kit? or is that mainly just for being able to adjust my camber back to oem camber settings?
are the aftermarket camber kits stronger? so that with the greater negative camber, my oem arms wont break or something? sorry if that was confusing haha

The front OEM control arms do not have a *ANY* camber or caster adjustability. If your drop is minimal your camber may still be good enough, if you go deeper (again more than 1.5") you may be too far out of spec. I don't know if it will leave you near your -2 or -3 camber.
Front toe adjustments are accomplished through the steering rack tie rod ends, and there is plenty of adjustability for just about any front drop.

If you really plan to dump your car, like a 2.5" or greater drop you can expect camber over -3.
There are cases where guys get the camber arms to add camber, like a hellaflush setup where you have to run extreme camber to fit extra wide wheels into the fender.
TBH I wouldn't run camber over -2 on a daily driver, if you drop your coilovers about 2" or less you should be in that range, but get that rear kit so your rear tires won't be screaming as they get ripped down the road

I went with the SPC 72262 rear camber kit for $189 on ebay.
and the SPC 73005 upper camber arms from Outcast Garage for $512
Both have the upgraded, XAxis high performance bushings. The Upper control arms are dual-adjustable.
I also called SPC today asking about why the other kit has curved rear arms. They said that is the "discontinued" design and that they moved to the straight arms for more stability. The rep said the extra clearance of the curved arms is not necessary so they dropped it. Since it is still highly available, it may not be so much discontinued as it is an alternative design, at least for now.
Still that other kit is much less expensive than what I went with, but I figured in for a penny, in for a pound.

FWIW I was dropped below the fenders (prior to my current coilovers) and got my camber to -1.0 F&R w/ full SPC kits.

Something's wrong, if you just kept your OEM non-adjustable arms you'd probably be quite a bit under -3, something like -2.2 would be expected w/ the OEM arms and an Eibach drop. What arms are you running?
